Is the rolled engraving removed during polishing? How do you polish the top of the rib if not? Are there liquid "strippers" that will clean areas like the top of the rib?

Well this is a set of new barrels and all engraving is hand cut. And there was no rib matting.
I take it you mean barrel sets in general. There are commercial bluing removers, but if they are used, polishing still needs to be done. As far as rib matting and roll stamp makers marks, I just polish off the surface and leave the old bluing in the matting and lettering. It is rust bluing anyway and that is the same process I am using, so it all just blends in fine when finished.

Thanks Brian,
Yes, I was referring to examples where one would re-brown/etch barrels. I Was curious as to how it's done.

Finally got back to doing a little something on this 20g.
Buttstock duplication. I originally planned on using a different blank for the project, but the figure was a little unbalanced from one side to the other. Since that time, I had acquired a good deal of American walnut and in that bunch was a blank that was on the thin side, perfect for an 0 frame stock, and it had very nice even curl in the butt. I opted for an uncapped pistol grip for the stock. Luckily I had an 0 frame top action stock around that was no where near perfect, but good enough to get a pattern out of. When duplicating, I left the top of the stock in block since I wanted higher dimensions than the pattern stock had. IMG_6005.JPG IMG_6006.JPG IMG_6007.JPG
