And in this picture, you can see the metal Claudio has added to the hook this morning using his laser welder. The barrels were a tad loose and this gives him the metal needed to file it up and get them nice and tight again.

Quite a bit of color underneath the crud. Very nice.

Beautiful! Thank you for this and previous post, your first post helped convince me to seek out a decent Lindner myself. Mine is just a 185 1907 and currently with Mr Dennis Smith. I get mine back in August. Keep it coming! Many thanks.

It is amazing what a good sonic cleaning will often reveal. My side lock Sauer from about 1895 had little visible color before cleaning. Afterward it was covered with brilliant color! Well done! canvasback.

Canvasback, That is beautiful and inspiring. Were you surprised at how much color popped following the ultrasonic bath? I never would have guessed.

I know I was stunned when Claudio sent me the pics yesterday morning. Never would have believed it. CJO may have had an inkling there would be some but even he was surprised by how much appeared.

And Joe, as noted in the Sauer thread of a few days ago, I have a Sauer side lock from about 1895 as well. I hadn't planned on it but it will be going in the ultrasonic bath to see what appears on its surface. As you described yours, mine is the typical uniform silver grey.

BTW, I would like to make it clear, it is CJO who is doing the work. Not me. I'm hamfisted and save my efforts for wall hangers.

Nice gun James and you picked a fine craftsman to work with in CJO.

It always amazes me the color that can be hidden under oxidized oil and the amount on your gun was certainly a surprise.

Enjoy it in good health. Those Daly guns are beautifully made.

James, is that weakened spring in the right lock? I've found that to be the case in most all doubles I've had to replace springs in. The right barrel just gets shot so much more, by the majority of people.

Your pics have really opened my eyes about how much surface crud and oxidation can be removed with an ultrasonic cleaner. I never knew.

Best, SRH
