If you're not really happy with the wood and the receiver I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Daryl while I appreciate the offer I'll hold onto it for a while after all an ugly gun brings humility to the safe

Well then, my safe must be the most humble place east of the Mississippi.

I met Dale at the Tulsa show a few years ago and saw some of his work. He is the best. I do Damascus refinishing and only thought I was good. The care and technique to get those colors proper, without darker areas around the breech,muzzle and next to the ribs shows that he is a Master.

glad to hear somebody else has mastered this art... charlie

A damascuss barrel in any of its incarnations be it twist or bernard have to be the best looking barrels ever produced. My CHE 20 barrels are the next in line for finish work.

Can't wait to see that project when it is done Rich.
