333 Jeffery barrel dimensions

[Tintin]

Finally making some good headway on the .333 Jeffery.

Stock is almost ready for the first of many alkanet drinks.

Then a few little tweaks on the metal work ...

and on to blueing.

Rust blue?

Rust blue?

Yep.

When I rust blued the Siamese Mauser 416WSM the laser etched "416WSM" disappeared!
Bob then laser etched the 416WSM again on the blued surface. Laser etching is just that, and not as deep as stamping or proper chisel engraving.

I’m looking forward to seeing it finished

Looks great. You may want to consider nitre bluing the bolt release spring and action screws if you are interested is a little snazzier look

Thanks @318AE - I've been tossing up whether / what to colour case harden / nitre. My gunsmith does a good job on the process.

Flag safety, shroud and grip cap can also look good.

So much for what I originally envisaged as a 'working rifle'

Thanks @rifletuner - latest update...

I'm underway with stock colouring using local Australian made, secret famiily recipe, 6 month steeped alkanet oil - coming up OK so far.
