model 11 Breech Bolt
model 11 Breech Bolt
I am in the process of restoring my Model 11 serial #140xxx using the old style rust bluing process. Can anyone tell me if the bolt is suppost to be blued? I have looked at many pictures to try to determine what the original bolt looked like but each one looked a little bit different. I have seen the bolt clean steel, blued, and the bolt clean steel with the handle blued. Which is the right way?

No.Can anyone tell me if the bolt is suppost to be blued?

Should have a blue cocking handle, bolt "in the white" (no finish)
