    There was plenty of surface rust on the action and remains of the shotgun barrel so I was going to paint the metalwork with black etch primer, but decided to give cold blueing a go.

    Stripped and sanded the action:

    Then blued the action and trigger guard:

    Then I stripped, sanded and blued the barrel:

    I am pretty happy with how it came up, although I am going to redo the action
