I have a fully functional Tobin Arms with a 3 digit serial number, below 400. Patent May 23 - 93, Norwich, Connecticut. I can see that it was case color hardened. The stock needs refinished and the case color needs redone and barrels reblued. Would I ruin the value if I had these things done? More importantly, I am wondering what the value of the gun is , as is and redone. Thanks for the video and information 👍
Indian food store. It's a food coloring root called ratan jot. Get the powder and put some, couple of tablespoons, to about 8-10oz of boiled linseed oil and wait. After a few months of shaking regularly creates a nice blood red oil. Do not shake prior to applying. You can also add this colored BLO to your favorite oil finish to add some red color.

This looks like an LC Smith stock. Interesting procedure. Could you be more specific of finishes? And were you get the root mentioned? Thanks,
