Thx Ed. I heard through the grapevine you were an expert on such matters. I just looked at the. Holland and Holland web site. Most of their new guns aren't case colored anymore, but of the few that were, most did not have these rings I'm referring to. A couple had very indistinct rings, so I am assuming they may drill the pin holes prior to the coloring process. But NONE of these guns had these real pronounced 'rings' we see on some of these older used guns where the case color looks perfect otherwise, at least in my opinion.

Socialism is almost the worst.
