David you sure do pick a very pleasant and diplomatic way of introducing yourself to this group.

Ok.
I guess that means you are calling me a Liar.

And there is nothing else than I can say I suppose.
One cannot convince a man otherwise when his mind is already made up.


I will post here photos right next to each other so that others can better see and make up their own minds on if I am a liar or not.

Gentlemen, there is another double gun site that has several people that continually attack others, what they list, and what they say. For that reason I stopped listing anything on that site and making comments there even though there are many good people there. This site has never been that way and is the reason I follow it closely. The people on this site have integrity and hopefully the above postings were just someone having a bad day and typing before they think. Having taken thousands of pictures of guns I know it is very easy to get very different results using different lighting and exposures. Harsh light will "wash out" most grain patterns, and proper lighting will certainly enhance grain. For that reason alone I would never doubt someones word on this or any other forum. Just my two cents worth.

One of the rules of PGCA Forum use is that you can NOT flame anyone for any reason at any time.

Let’s observe and obey the rules. We pride ourselves in having the most ‘user friendly’ forum in the collecting/shooting community. Let’s keep it that way please.

I had to lower the comb on a Beretta 686 28 ga. and found when the bowling alley finish and the slurry of filler was removed along with the dark stain i had a very nice piece of wood. Have to do the same to the fore-arm
The comparison photos show the same thing with the factory finish obscuring what is under it. No enhancement was needed just removing the dark stain is all.

I get asked a lot about “what kind of finish I use”. I normally do not like to answer this. Not because it is any sort of secret. But because it is a very loaded question because every job is different and processes/products can vary depending on the desired outcome.

But, I will address it here on this particular repro. Just because there seems to be so much interest and distain around it.

I had to think back and remember what I did here on this one.

I first used clear Dalys ship & shore teak oil sealer. (Normally I add alkanet root to my sealer, but with this one I felt it did not need it). First penetrating coats followed by wet sanding coats.
Then it is finished with pro custom oil aerosol spray.

That is it. Nothing special or secretive. Period.
