I did. the small parts are all niter blued in stump remover + 10% manganese dioxide (should have bought the brownells stuff, melts at a lower temp)

butt plate was rust blued with mark lee express blue #1

butt plate was sanded and polished to 300 grain

the rest was sanded to remove pits then polished to a mirror polish.

barrel came blued from numrich
