Me too. Down with politics. Political disagreements here make folks with a common interest who ought to be friends into enemies who despise each other...Geo

I have not logged into the board in a long while and just read this entire thread. This is a wonderful thread and very informative. Well done on all accounts! I am excited to see more progress updates as well as the finished product.

Seeing as none of us can go to the movies, I thought I would do the DG version of "Coming Soon!".

While lots of great work has been documented here to date, we still have to cover the repair of the broken ejector rod and the work to get the ejectors working and timed properly, the repair of the leaf spring noted earlier, all of the barrel work including relaying the ribs, dent removal and bluing, application of the slacum finish (that will be like watching paint dry laugh ) and a myriad of other little details that need attention.

One thing is clear. While the major finishes (barrels and wood) are important in the appearance of the finished product, it is the minute attention to detail at first not obvious that separates a good restoration from a great one. Hopefully we are watching a great one unfold here.

Well we have a little surprise today. This is an example of why I like to work with Claudio.

You will recall that over a week ago, I did a few posts detailing the finishing of the forend, in particular the replacement horn tip. The forend, propped up against the peg board wall by Claudio's bench, was deemed complete and ready for finishing.

However, every time time I spoke to him this past week, he would mention the forend. Something was nagging at Claudio and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Today I got the following update in his own words:

"Gazing at the forend horn tip in front of me, something didn't sit right. I couldn't put my finger on it but something about the shape and curve was off.....The more I looked the more it bothered me. Then I saw it! The original chequering was uneven and the wood curvature was slightly different from left to right as the latch was not perfectly centred. So this curve carried onto the forend horn tip. So I reworked/shaped the horn tip so as to be more pleasing to the eye. Now it's not bothering me as much......"

So Claudio spent some time revisiting that "finished" forend and getting it right.
