DUNKS Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock and the Damascus barrels certainly compliment each other to show off what has got to be an absolutely stunning gun. I hope that you get to enjoy owning and using it. OB 'Decent stock' is a bit of an understatement there Dunks, it's stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
