This gun has a nasty, shellac, kind of finish. It looks nice and shiny but it just isnt right for how it would have looked when built. So Ive decided to put it right. I havent done much work recently but I got up this morning and the sun was shining and it did need its 3rd carding and applying of solutions! Because Ive been ill the browning had been on a couple of days and its actually worked out in my favour with the twist starting to show out.

It's only an old laminated twist I know, but it's coming out now, hopefully I can do it justice.

Looks good Tony. There is a thread on at the moment on single barrel English guns so maybe they would like to see the rest of her. I did a single 20 bore up recently for browning and found that the barrel had originally been on a muzzle loader as I could find the brazing marks where the ramrod pipes had been when I struck it up. Lagopus.....

Interesting Lap. Will look at the thread. This is quite an interesting gun underneath. Off to apply another coat, the sun is out, and I'm feeling remarkably energetic, well in context. smile
