Please explain to me why CSMC charges hundreds of dollars of upcharge for the Lin Speed finish so the ultimate buyers can sand it out. Just a question. My Inverness probably has the Lin Speed finish, a very shiny finish that requires a lot of effort. I am not thinking I will mess with it. Just my opinion as a paying customer.
It's not Lin Speed, Eightbore, it's Tru Oil, and it is a very nice built-up gloss finish. I think it looks great and it's a real shame to mess with it. My 30" barrelled RBL12 light frame has this finish and I would not think of "knocking it down" to a duller finish.
I have a couple of doubles that I have finished out to a soft satin sheen with boiled linseed and progressive sanding to a 1000 grit polish that are very nice. I wanted them different from a gloss finish. Both types of finishes please me, and I don't care to change one to the other.
