For a typical defarb I will do the following:
Stock
- Strip the stock to bare wood
- Shape the stock to look more like the original weapon
- Restain and oil the stock
- Apply applicable stock stamps
- On an Enfield the lock washers can be changed if wanted
Barrel and Furniture
- Strip the barrel if blued and remove modern markings
- Blue the barrel with the proper rust bluing method or leave in the white as requested.
- Enfield metal furniture like barrel bands and sling swivels will be stripped and heat blued to give the proper look.
- Change the sling swivels to the proper ones on Enfields.
- Springfield will be finished in Armory Bright
- Brass front sights made to replace steel ones on models where applicable.
- Put taper pins in sling swivels and file down on Springfields and others where done historically.
- Stamp barrel with proper markings
- Polish all brass pieces
Lock plate
- Restamp lock plate with period correct markings
- Engrave a second line on outside of lock plate on Enfield if needed.
The process for pistols is similar.

All muskets are $185 except for Enfields which are $210. This covers the extra work usually needed to properly defarb and purchase correct swivels.
