So my dad gave my son an old savage shotgun this weekend that looks like he had just dug it up in the yard. We tore it down and figured out what parts it needed (trigger springs and extractor).
He spent hours getting the rust off and getting the gun down to bare metal, It’s in pretty good shape considering where it started, (some small pitting all over but light) he now wants to blue it and refinish the stock and give it back to gpa.
I have never blued a gun and am unsure where to begin but I think it would mean more to Gpa if he does it all himself instead of taking it to a gunsmith. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
