I used aqufortis and a heat gun to bring out the curl.

I used Chambers antique oil stock finish on the gun.

I've got pictures too.  Here's a little buck I got a couple of weeks ago.  .50 cal. flinter which I built from a box of old rusty parts that I got from a bowyer that "never got around to putting it together".  It shoots center if I hold my mouth right.

Thats a great lookin hawken pd, doesnt look like it even needs refinishing. I have one just like it that my dad bought for me when I was 15, mine definitely needs refinishing after 20 years of dragging it around in the oklahoma scrub brush. They are sraight shooters for sure. Good luck and have fun with it!

After talking with my Hawken guru friend yesterday morning, I think this one is leaning towards 40 years old. The serial numbers are no good. TC burned and they lost everything. According to the type of barrel and type of rifling this gun has, its a keeper I guess. My buddy wanted to give me his new barrell and money for mine? Nah!

What is there to refinish? Give it a wipe down with gun oil and go shooting!  Besides, you DO NOT WANT SHINY BRASS!

Once it is shiny you gotta keep working to keep it shiny.  Leave it dull like this and you will scare fewer deer anyway!

PD some guns you can change the locks need to take the drum out & put in a touch hole.
