DUNKS

No it's not! The man is a tit. Any information should be taken from the gun itself Proves he cant read. Same goes for the receiving RFD.

I don't either!

If the safe is a Brattonsound, they can arrange to open it for you.

ASK YOUR FEO!!! GIVE HIM OR HER A RING AND STOP WORRYING UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL THE INFO I WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TILL YOU HAVE. YES I AM SHOUTING COS IT'S THE ONLY ANSWER.. NO USE YOU TAKING ALL THE USEFUL AND NOT SO USEFUL INFO HERE AND THE FEO FINDING A SIMPLER ANSWER.

Go for an English none ejector, you just cant give them away and great guns. My son has just bought a lovey Watson for £400 and from a dealer too. Just got to look around. There actually are suitable guns for sale on this forum. For instance a lovely best Belgian Dumoulin ejector. I can vouch for it cos it's mine.

Hi Mr Rabbit. Where are you?

Top lever should have good resistance but be silky smooth. Take it back.

I agree but don't forget if you are soaking the chokes the Acetone evaporates quickly. If in an open container you are soon left with only ATF

It's great for removing oil from wood. What I am sure you mean is. Don't get it anywhere near FINISHED wood It will strip varnish or ruin an oiled finish. Not much likelihood though when cleaning barrels.

It's the acetone that strips the plastic.

Tiz a beautiful gun though. Have a go you cant do a lot of harm. Just don't forget to plug the bores.

Of course. Quick detail. clean and emery to 320 grit. Clean clean clean. No oil. I rust with Blackleys solution. Wait till fine rusted.4 hrs to overnight. Dip in Ferric chloride 8 to 1 with water for 15 sec then card off with de oiled 0000 wire wool under water. rinse and dry off. Then do it all over again these barrels were done nine times. They say the more times the browner the finish. Bear in mind this is my first set. They also say this finish varies with the metals used in the barrels. I also read there are over 100 ways recorded to do this, so take your pick.

Oh go on then. Always happy to do a bit of showing off. Thanks for the interest.

Thanks for the compliment but the stock is there on an earlier post. It was taken before I browned the barrels. Regards.

Meant to put this in the side by side section and ended up somewhere else. The barrels on my Daintith were "painted" with some horrible instant browning solution so I decided to give browning a go. This is my first attempt. Colour seems to alter depending on the light, both photos were taken within minutes of each other. But I am well pleased.

Yep it has a decent stock.

UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!!

Hi thought you just might like to see my first attempt at browning" a set of twist barrels on my 1870 Daintith. Barrels were "painted" with some sort of horrid cold brown stuff. Barrels look a different colour depending how the light strikes them. Dunno how that happened. Both photos were taken within minutes. You mat criticise I'm thick skinned.

WYMBERLEY Hi are most of your 10.000 posts as helpful as this last one. To anyone interested the gloves are GREY. My son an ex RAF fast jet pilot has many pairs GREY

How about RAF fast jet pilots gloves. Leather, light grey in colour, thin, very grippy and made in lots of sizes. They can be bought on the internet.

Hi. Quick look for you of my latest find. T DAINTITH of Warrington. Little known gunmaker of fine guns. This one around 1890 we think. I am reliably told it's a pigeon gun with it's wide flat rib. Just had it rejointed. Seems to be in reasonable nick for such an old gun. Bores to be honest could be a tad better. It's proofed black powder only but that's what I want it for. I have cleaned up the outside of the barrels and intend to brown them. Hi. Quick look for you of my latest find. T DAINTITH of Warrington. Little known gunmaker of fine guns.

I think all the cold blue solutions are not too permanent. The stuff I am using is for slow rust blue. The most durable black there is.

AGREE!

Tizz now for sale. Lovely strong gun. An ejector too.

No. Twas E J Blackley and son. Tried to get our daughter in Canada to bring over some Pilkintons but she looked at the ingredients and declined. I will have a look for the Phillips. EDIT. Just had a look at Phillips and can only see COLD blue solution. Mine is a traditional slow rust blue. Two totally different procedures.
