And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's a hot salt color. Like bluing, but done with somewhat different chemistry - just as toxic - and typically by immersion in the dry chemicals and charcoal (willow if you have it) rather than molten salts. Heat in a sealed iron box in the forge or furnace for several hours at several hundred degrees, then open while red hot and dump it all into hot salt water amid the smoke and sparks. Exciting to do, beautiful when it works. Very old method, almost never done today except by a few old school machinists.
Yes! 5'' barrel in 357, thank you.
ReplyDeleteNo, thank You. I prefer my SAAs or SAA clones to have the original three screws that Colt revolvers have had since the 1848 Dragoon.
