Still deciding on the french grey or to keep it case colored. I think it will look really good either way. This thing is a tiny receiver. Fox 20's were little anyway and a bunch of metal was removed during the shaping. Gun weighs less then 6 lbs and a lot of that is due to the extremely dense Circassian walnut we used.

I might lean toward French grey (I know that's what Bob would tell you) you will lose quite a bit of detail if you case color, no way around that and since it is a custom gun you don't have to worry about what the traditional finish should be. So keep the beautiful engraving for all to see and do French gray

Beautiful, Tom!! Very tastefully done. I too, would vote for the French Grey.
Those partridge should fold out of sheer reverence for that Fox!!

I like a case color finish when it's half worn off. Case color it, then use the hell out of it!!
