Dean and I were talking about this today. I thought that once my Repros colors were gone that would be the time to strip the wood and put a nice oil finish on the gun.They could wear together and the gun would be about perfect...
I think I will just send it to Dave Fuller at that point.....

Eric,
There is no way this gun will be a safe queen. I can't afford to spend this kind of money and then not enjoy the gun for the purpose it was made for. That's like someone buying a new pickup truck and not hauling anything in it because they're afraid to scratch the bed. If everything goes well I will be in the woods with it Saturday. Dean, I'm going to try to keep the case color wear to a minimum. But, if it wears off it wears off. As far as I am concerned right now the only way I would sell it is if I needed to put food on the table and that was the only way to do it. Brad |

I took semi-chrome to my Repro a couple of years ago, just to be done with it. The only thing I don't like is the resulting chrome like appearance of the receiver. I believe I have talked my self into having the case re-done and so I'll probably be dropping it off with Brad B next week. I will post pictures of the finished (or should I say re-finished product).

Thanks for the tip Jay. I think I will just let it wear off through use.
