Used cold browning solution then put the parts in hot water and simmered for a bit. Pulled them out and scrub with a 3M green pad soaked with oil. Gives some pitting and a grey color to the steel.

Beautiful rifle.  Super work on the trigger guard and butt plate.  You really captured the Soddy characteristics.   Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes that’s a really pretty looking rifle! The side plate throws me off a bit. I love that patch box tons.

With a barrel that long - you’d have to back up to yesterday to hit the target!  ;)

The Soddy’s (like yours) are ALWAYS sexy!

Maybe we should start a "proper" Soddy page. Yours is absolutely wonderful. Here is mine by Don Bruton (will be on display at the Cascade Mountain men fair in Enumclaw next month). I have seen some others posted here that are very correct. This is one school you can't take shortcuts on or build your own interpretation of or lets say you shouldn't.
