Just A Touch of Nitre...Pics

Joe C

Student of the 1911.
Hello,

As it gets close to Camp Perry I'm working on a bunch of new wad and ball guns. I know this is pretty much a rifle site but thought some of you might enjoy seeing a CMP Ball Gun. This is just one such example of a ball gun built here. Shot very well, as the target provided with it shows.

This particular gun is going to a gent who is a great friend. I asked him if he minded if I took a little liberty and did something a bit special for him during the finishing process since he wanted the gun matte blasted instead of buffed. (I just can't leave well enough alone). He said sure...and so I did the small pins Nitre Blue. I didn't do the grip screws as this gun will be shot a lot and it would wear rather quickly, but just a touch of Nitre goes a long way, in my opinion.

Thanks for looking!
