There are a lot of good things said about Cerakote.clicky
Just wondering if anyone has used it, or had a firearm finished with this product? Its going to to be a DIY project..How hard can it be..? (Famous last words.)

Cerakote is a great finish, not as slick as Hard Chroming though....Ion Bonding is another alternative but will cost you. For Cerakote you will have to blast your parts in 120 Alum Oxide, clean with parts cleaner then spray and bake. For small parts you can use an airbrush and your kitchen oven. They do make a non bake product but its not as durable....just Google Cerakoting and you'll find plenty of links on the how to...piece of cake...good luck!
Just picked a few guns from my Mom that were may Dads and Grandfathers.... one I have no idea what it is and the other ... an 1897 Winchester 12 gauge Shotgun... lookin at the serial #'s its from 1913....Will get pics up later...
Ok promised pics....

Thats a cool 1897. Another one to thank John M. Browning for..
:-)
I would not shoot it though until you get it checked out. Thought I've heard of some of them having lock up problems, ejecting out the bolt/slide when fired.

OK I showed the pictures to my father in law. His best guess is late 19th/early 20th century maybe German gunsmith custom built and/or experimental gun. It is styled after the "schuetzen" long range European target shooting competitions that were popular then. Perhaps the 5 is 5mm. The action is something he has never seen before. The carving on the stock is more English and American style. If the stock was carved by a German it would have had a stag or a deer on it most likely. The double triggers also suggests German. Bottom line is, it's not a major manufacturer. Too bad you are so far away. We are in Michigan, otherwise he could take a look at it. By the way, here is a blatent plug for his website.

Picked up a Colt New Agent 45 auto and a set of custom mother of pearl inlaid grips today on my lunch break. Need to find some longer screws to put on these new grips.
