So after a healthy boil, scrubbing, and then a soak in some ATF, i finally got around to starting to black the exterior-facing parts, starting with the trigger guard.

I followed Backyard Ballistic's video on his Carcano restoration..only i used my own Vinegar+salt rusting solution. it worked out well..never did anything like this before and thankfully it went as smoothly as the video
