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.

This is so much nicer than the originals I’ve seen. Well done.
