Re: H001 Receiver Cover Finish
I like the Henry. I really like the saddle and hat. I recognize it from your Winchester Classic photo over on MO. It is a great set for gun photos.

How did you get the pitting?

It is not the caliber of the gun, but the caliber of the man holding it.
Old guns, old cars, and old men all lose something when they are set aside, only to be put on display.
Traveling East, searching for that which is lost.

Re: H001 Receiver Cover Finish
Nice job, SH! 
The beauty about the painted Henry covers is that you can do whatever you like to them, and if you're not happy with the result you can either just change it again or buy a replacement. It's a win-win all round.

Re: H001 Receiver Cover Finish
Any idea of any way to make a faux case hardened look? My son did son car painting at one time and seemed like there was something they did ...put some clear cellophane on wet paint and pulled it off to give metal dadh boards a marblized look or something....I will have to ask him....just wondered if there was something similar you could do to mimic the case hardning look
