Hey all, Newb to the forum. I'm registered with Firearmsforum.com aswell, just wanted to
see what this forum is all about! I recently got an old muzzle loader I thought was a junker,
and it turned out to be quite nice. The lock is old, maybe in the 1850's, English made. I just
recently refinished it. I still have alot of work to do. Let me know what you guys think of the
restoration, any pointers are always welcome. I am trying to get the stain alot darker and
still keep the vintage look. The barrel looks nice after a polish and rust remove. I dont know
wether to paint it or not. The brass shined up like new with some compound I had laying
around. Anyone who is into refinishing guns let me know what you think, or maybe some
pointers! Thanks, hope you enjoy

Thats the URL to my photos for the gun. i have about 100 pics so it's detailed. I have pics
from when I first got it, it has the oraneish stain to it, and then the dissasembly, and
refinish.
