Please dont torch those old guns.Simply put, you are only suckerin` the suckers.Huskys arent worth the time enhancing
Real case colors are still mostly ugly,its just if you have no choice,pretty colors are more desireable.Cant do that with a torch!
If you must,a nitre blue would be much better.
Even better,just clean off any remaining colors with a carding brush.
Or leave "as is"?

Niklas -- How likely is the "torch job" to compromise the steel in the receiver? If appearance is the only issue, the colors would be easily removed or muted with a little steel wool.

I have seen Model 51s in all stages of wear and none of them look bad enough to refinish. What an idiot.

I can't believe this guy, hopefully if someone has a chance to intercept guns before they make it to this clown it happens. He contacted me on my Parker I have listed, and when I explained that it was we bone cased when I got he said it was "ruined" While I don't agree with recasing guns all the time, I won't shy away from one that is properly restored and a re-boned gun looks better than a shiney polished receiver, and much much much better than the "low heat" method used by ol' ed here. That gun simply looks like dog crap. I would much rather see a gun "patina" (fancy word for rust) or polished or anything but the abomination of a torch job. Ed please quit destroying guns, or if you choose to "recase" one let it be a belguim clunker...

some turn out better than others. beauty is in the eye of the beholder...viva la difference! If this Ed Lander is a "Master Gunsmith", that would make the Puerto Rican kids who spray paint subways "Michaelangelo's".
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
