I’ve had this kit for several years and almost sold it...twice. Recently I did sell it, to my father. He asked me to finish it for him, and money is a great motivator, so I did in three days what I couldn’t get done in three years.

There’s no step by step of the process unfortunately as I was on a roll. The gun isn’t meant to look like a World Con or any specific version. My father just asked that it look used, not thrashed and rusty, but just look like an everyday carry that had been used to retire a number of Replicants.

I also took a photo of it next to my Goldberg Arms .38 that I finished about two years ago. Sort of like father and son.

BRILLIANT! Do you mind saying how you achieved the finish on the Steyr bolt/receiver?

Certainly, it’s no real secret. I used graphite powder and rubber it onto the polished metal. My first attempt at gun bluing the pewter was catastrophic, so I went with the graphite instead. It has two different clears on it, and then a light rub down with steel wool.
