- Join us for part two of our series on the restoration of a deluxe medium frame Colt Lightning rifle. In this episode, we'll show the steps needed to prepare the parts for polishing, with an emphasis on parts that are pitted or have been previously color case hardened.
Thank you, Mark, for another superb quality episode. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
As an amateur gunsmith, I find this video very informative! I’m waiting on the next installment. Thanks for producing these.
This work looks like serious fun. I enjoy watching these videos. They are very interesting and educational. The restoration of old firearms is fascinating to me... Please keep the videos coming, l look forward to the next.
I'm so glad you're doing all of these videos.
Fascinating series. I'm looking forward to future installments.
This is a great series, thank you Mark!😊

Very interesting Mark! Thanks!!
Thanks for another great video!
Hey Mark! Great video reminds me of the old serials where the kids need to come back next week to see what our favorite cowboy gets into.
Thank you for this video it’s very interesting process that you go through I enjoy this type of work I’ve always had fun doing a lot of things myself but I’ve always wanted to have all the equipment to really do it right but it’s fun to watch you guys do it and see how it comes out can’t wait for the next video.
Keep m coming! Love this subject.
Very interesting, thanks!
Thank you
Awesome Part2 Mark 😀😇😊
Thank you.
(Mike C.) This is right about where I am on my rolling block projects. Actions have been annealed, (new) barrels are in the white. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming hand polishing episode! Mark, the gunsmith that did the machine work on my rollers told me that Remington breech blocks and hammers were polished out and blued after first being case hardened. I'm wondering if that's what Colt did with that lightning trigger????
My sister lives just west of there on the Southfork. Maybe I can ease out there and say Hi one day.
Hi Mark! Was wondering about your thoughts on Aero Kroil penetrating oil as far as firearm metal protection. I’ve heard that it can damage certain types of bluing. You reminded me of it as you were describing the finish damage on that lightning due to accidental chemical application.
It looks like that rifle may have come from a home in the Black Swamp region of NW Ohio. Black Sulphur water plays hell on metals.
👍👍👌👌
I think I'll pass on the DIY and send it to you.
