Well, what do you consider a good job of coloring an action? Are spots of color here and there acceptable to you? If so, I suppose there is no accounting for individual tastes and let it go at that.I do believe that to the general populace of experienced double gun men that the "spots" are unacceptable, if for no other reason than they do not reflect the original coloring of the action.

"I do believe that to the general populace of experienced double gun men that the "spots" are unacceptable, if for no other reason than they do not reflect the original coloring of the action"........ah, the great oz has spoken! knows all, sees all...please, be aware: ed lander has been a general gunsmith for over 60 years now! recoloring a shotgun receiver without changing the original factory heat treatment aint easy. old ed has recolored well over 100 shotgun receivers at my request. most, but not all, turn out to be a fair reproduction of what i consider to be the original factory coloring. over the years, i have been very successful selling guns that old ed has worked on. if not, i certainly would not be using his services. the fact is, there are literally thousands of the general populace of experienced double gun men that appreciate old ed's wood and metal work. i am certainly one of them.

60 years now, I thought you had to learn from your MISTAKES to count it as experience!

I learned long ago, that when a customer wants me to do something that just isn't right in either safety or in the quality of my standards, I won't do it. My "name" is on my work and now Ed is the proof of what happens when you do this work.

Half the population is of below average intelligence. Ed has a very large potential customer base.
