Thanks Cary Here is some of the work I done on my barrels. 99% of the work I do is rust-blueing and only sometimes Damascus Finish. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...=true#Post11432 Casey Last edited by CASEY C._dup1; 12/26/07 06:00 PM.

The gun I have needing done is an English BPE double rifle I just purchased. Currently, the barrels are blued. I had a feeling that this gun was damascus, and confirmed it last evening by removing the blueing under the forend. It was a nice Christmas surprise... It will need to be browned, not blacked. Thanks again.
