This one was just too ugly...

The after photo shows it has been down the road but it does inspire respect.

When I saw the first photo, my thought was, "tackle box gun".

When I saw the second photo, well, I think it might be just a tiny bit too nice to be a true tackle box gun. It cleaned up good!

It's nice to have a gun that can be carried and used with no regard for any conditions it might encounter.

I recently bought a late 1920s M&P which was originally nickeled, but with about 50% missing. Nonetheless, it's mechanically perfect and tight with a good clean bore, so otherwise as good as new. I didn't pay much for it, so what's not to like?

I just did a poorly nickeled Colt 1903 using brownells nickel stripper and it came out pretty good. Left a weird blue type finish.

Nice job! I believe you gave it it's "groove "back!
