A little scotchbrite on the brake gave it a good enough finish for now. I was going to blue it, but after looking at the various airguns, I decided to install it on the old two-tone FWB 124 as is. If it ends up finding a permanent home here, I'll run it down to Akron Plating and let them give it a coat of hard chrome to better match the compression tube.
It's hard to take a decent pic of rifles that are over 40" long and have them show up well on the blog.
The brake matches the hard chrome fairly well. I've given it a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
The trim size works well with the slenderness of the stock.
The setscrews are dead flush when tightened.
Think I may be overhauling the Sterling next time around. I've got several other project guns here including both a Rochester and old Benjamin pumper in many pieces. Also, just picked up an unfinished walnut stock inlet for a Crosman 160. There's lots of possibilities. Nick should be back with a project soon.
Check back.
