Here she is, I did nothing to the original parts of the rifle and instead weathered the new barrel and magazine tube to match as closely as I could. You just can't beat the weathered patina of an old gun in my opinion. Completely removing the pitting and refinishing it all would have ruined it, you may as well buy a new gun if you go that route. Just my 10 cents.

Nicely done, thats one of my favorite hobbies, making old lever actions look good again.
