This subject has been talked about on several threads, I think a dedicated thread that can be used as a guide is necessary. All opinions are welcome.

Here's the initial list, for review, comment, and correction.

Muzzle end of tubes, including muzzle and keel edges.

Mating surface of forend hanger, where the spring edge contacts the hanger.

Mating surface on front of the lump, where the hinge pin contact is.

Sides of the lumps.

Barrel flats on fluid steel barrels. Pattern welded sets are left colored.

Breech edges of tubes.

On an earlier thread there was a brief discussion on creating the silver spiral lines instead. What was this called? If this is done, the rest of the breech end is left colored. Someone have a pic? Mr. Dudley, perhaps you could post a picture?

All comments are welcome.

Regards
Ken


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
