Only took a couple of months but I finally finished them 
.
Both are O-1 parkerized and finished with matte black Gun-Kote, the little one w/ blue G-10 and micarta pins and the other with green canvas.
I thought I would try to get away with a sanding and the parkerizing for a good enough finish before Gun-Kote. It's no replacement for sandblasting. You can see a few imperfections under the finish still. Yet another lesson learned
. Pretty pleased with the way they turned out though.
The big one will certainly be seeing some use. To see how the Gun-Kote holds up and to see if my heat treating is worth a pinch.
