Hawken is DONE
« on: January 28, 2014, 03:51:00 PM »
A couple nights ago I blued the barrel and bedded the tang/trigger plate and a small section of the forward stock to prevent any side to side wiggle that may occur under recoil.


Then today I finished up all the stock work and applied the first coat of stain, this is one coat of Laurel mountain forge nut brown. It got a total of 4 coats nut brown and then for a SLIGHT reddish highlight, It will get 2 coats LMF Walnut stain. Finished off with low gloss tung oil. Shes going to be one heck of a good looker!

Looks sweet!  Did you also use the Laurel Mt Browning for the barrel?  I have a couple underhammer barrels that I need to brown and I hear the Laurel Mt stuff is good.  Any experience w/it?

Thanks,

Yes LMF browning is some real good stuff! Add humidity to speed up process otherwise it can take a while to do.
 
I used birchwood casey perma blue gun paste, worked out excellent and left a rich blue/black finish. Followed up with 2 coats johnsons floor paste wax for protection.

Antiqued the brass with 2 coats of the bluing paste and then washed, dried and coating with brass black, washes again and LIGHTLY buffed with steel wool to get it the color I wanted.

Very Nice!  Time to get out and see how she shoots.  BTW, I think I will try the Laurel Mt Browning solution for my barrels.  I have a 50 cal 1/28 twist for sabots and a 62 cal w/Forsyth rifling for RB shooting in my underhammer.  Now I need to get busy so I can get out to the range too.

That looks real good. Thought about doing something like that to one of my shotguns before I pass it down to my 9yo.
