This gun is sitting about 10 feet from where I type write now and it has turned out beautifully. Chris Dawe, as Gil noted, has really brought out the beauty in this wood. I thought it was going to be nice when we sent it to Chris for refinishing but this wood is just perfect. Not over the top for the rest of the gun but just where it should be to make one ogle. We found, thanks to Winhshooter16, an original MF buttplate in darn nice condition so the gun has really come together.
Each time I have anything to do with Chris Dawe I could not be more pleased with the quality of work. This chequering is waaayyy better than how it left the factory.
I like it so much I can barely bring myself to send it on it's way but we got the paperwork today and so, on to Gil it goes. Gil, if you decide it's not for you, send it back to me!
