Pick up my Pietta Paterson today, this is my second paterson I have owned. The first was a Uberti about twenty five or thirty years ago.
Well if it had been a 1851 or 1860 i would not have picked it up. the quality of finish is below what I would normaly except.
List of thing that will be done over the next month.
1/ strip and clean oil out of the gun
2/ smooth the action
3/ completly trip finish which Black
4/ remove markings from frame and barrel
5/ finish the grips, file marks on one side.
6/ refinsh gun in a blue brown finish
7/ put it back togeather
8/ take it to the range
This will be the best part.
This gun will be with me for awhile.
