I must admit that I haven't seen fit to abuse one of Mark's guns to the degree where its durability can be judged. But the finish he uses is very tough indeed, and with normal care should last a lifetime.

And... the paint on your Mercedes-Benz will come off with a deep gouge, too. To reveal that plain, ugly steel beneath...

This technique was used by SKB in the mid-1970s on the Ithaca-imported Model 200 and 280 side-by-sides and the Model 600 series O/Us/ When I first saw some "before and after" repair samples I couldn't believe my eyes.

I am curious. What is the cost of having this type of work done compared to having a gun restocked. Some of the work I have seen pic's looks great.

Wayne, you can go to www.marklarsongunart.com and get a pretty good idea of his prices. It's quite a bit less than having a gun restocked.
