Jerry, I thought you were an L C Smith man.

I've never seen the information in any book and I am not aware that anyone knows. I know how its done today, but whether that is the same, no one knows. You want awestriking quality, look at an upper grade, turn of the century damacus gun like some I have been showing. And amazingly, that same quality and attention and attention to detail can be found in the G's and D's of the period. That's why I just shake my head when somebody comes on here and asks whether $2500 is too much to pay for an unbutchered, nice condition DH with skeleton butt and damascus barrels.

Jerry, Let us know if you find or devise a mullering tool. I've done it with a beading tool for the groove each side, followed by a small gouge for the center cut. If there was a single tool it sure would be easier and more accurate.
