Default Bachelder Restoration

20ga DH, 0 frame. Bronze bore liners were installed early on. The usual reason for installing bore liners was to return the bore to dimension after removing excessive pitting.

I'll leave it on for a while and if no one likes it I'll delete the post. I wouldn't want people to have to look at an ugly gun.

Was just over there - he's restoring for me a 1873 Remington hammer lifter and on another gun taking the triggers from 15# to 4. Never knew he'd put brass liners in the barrels. Please tell us a little more about it. Everything looks really great on your gun. Does the finish look shinny because of the flash ? Love the damascus and other metal work he did.

I can think of many words, but "ugly" is not one of them. More like "beautiful"
