Thank you Gentlemen for your kind words. I will have to search for another "project" now. I am always on the look out for worthy restoration jobs.

Hi Stu

GREAT JOB !!!! The photo of the inside of the lock looked like it had cobwebs !!
Wonderful before and after restoration. Looked like it had been sitting in the corner of a garage for many years. LOL But turned out well. Congrats.

Stu what a wonderful end result. I do the same kind of work and appreciate the time and effort that goes into these conservations.
Has the integrity of the barrel been compromised? Could you fire it?

Hi Will,
The barrel is very thick wall so probably COULD be fired (with caution), however I do not intend to try.
