Stan,, curious about who will cut your rib on your ITW bbls,, can't recall who has the cutter from savage at this time.

Mr. tut,, your bbls look like they have been re-done,, but the action looks to just have worn-off colors which I think look great on the later A engraving.. why not consider leaving action as-is and tone down bbl blue if looks too black? Bbls may be a DIY job if you have some guidance? I regret putting non-original colors on two Fox's I have had work done on.. Seems to hide the the stuff I like to look at and I won't live long enough to wear down the fresh bone 'n charcoal colors..although I believe both of my examples have colors that are very pleasing to the eye with nice balance of that straw hue that comes through in the original cyanide applied in Philly.. and yes, I have an original example to compare & contrast.. all my opinion and delivered with utmost respect to both you and Stan,, real Fox guys! Best jmc.
