Thanks Ken. I was aware that annealing would make filing and finishing easier but I wasn't aware it would help the re-casing colors be richer.
And thanks Bill. I knew that weren't any power tool shortcuts to the work you did on your gun.
I have been looking for a beater project gun for a while. When I find a likely candidate you guys will be among the first to know because I'm sure I will be loading up this forum with questions.
