I have never heard of using shellac, but many people use Linspeed (boiled linseed oil and Japan Dryer)
Purdey and Holland both coat their receivers.
Most damascus barrel people use something akin to Linspeed also. In fact, I'd have to ere on the side of using it, as opposed to not using it.

Allen, you seem to be in pretty tight with the Delgrego people. why not get them to give up their ill-gotten record books. Seems to me they get enough business out of the PGCA, it's the least they could do.

It's always interesting to see these threads pop up. You never know which way they'll go. 6 months from now it could have been a case where everyone is harping about how guns were made to be used, not sit in a closet, and it's his gun so whatever he chooses to do with it is his business. But this time around everyone is taking the 'preserve it' tack. Oh well.

I once knew a guy who bought a '78 corvette Indy Pace Car with 7 miles. This was in the 90's. It still had the plastic wrap on the seats and he pulled it around on a trailer to show it off. Then, he couldn't resist driving it a little but he first disconnected the speedo cable so it stayed at 7 miles. After a while, the plastic got ripped up so he removed it, and one couldn't help notice the tires were getting awfully low on tread for being used just 7 miles. His plans really went south when he missed a turn and drove it under a barbed wire fence which put about 7 miles worth of scratches on his hood and fenders. Oh well.

Then there's a guy I know who was quite proud of his new girlfriend, he slyly confided in me that she was 'almost a virgin'........oh well.

Some 'almost virgins' perform very well. Oh well. lol

12ga, 1&1/2 frame, 30" VHE. Some day I'll get the lighting right.

Nice one Fred. How close would you say yours is to 100%?

[Blind Dog]

Pretty close. It had been shot and I have hit about 100 targets with it and there are a couple of small blemishes on the trigger guard tang where it had been held in a sweaty hand and not wiped down right away.

Why did you move the posts? Sounds like an abuse of power
