Made good progress on this until covid got me. Once some of this long covid fog clears gonna try and finish it up.
Marker is a MAC-1 i picked up here a few years back. Finish had been stripped and the barrel cut a bit when i got it.
Patinated the brass with various shades of red brown, brown, and black. Took a few tries to get a pattern i liked, this one came out pretty good.
I still have to convert to bolt action to prevent the pump handle from scratching up/stripping the patina in spots. Redo patina on bottom tube to eliminate existing scratches. Find the right screws for grip panels. Redo finish on grip frame. Make removable stick feed. Blue the steel parts. Seal the body in rock hard clear lacquer to protect finish.
