Uncle Mike's Winchester 94 project Part 3

This is the final post for this project, see part 1 here and part 2 here.

Now that the parts are polished and rust/pit free, we need to ready them for the bluing tank.

I like to use Acetone, as it leaves no residue and removes oil, buffing compound or anything else left behind.

The small parts go in these handy baskets

Here they are simmering in the bluing tank, I will have a post on how I blue guns coming soon.

After bluing, I put them in the boiling water rinse tank, then to the mobil work bench to be coated in water displacing oil

The last step of course, is reassembly. Once assembled, I wax the steel and wood.

Finished!
