A special gun came in for restoration and I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it. Single square bridge Oberndorf magnum action, letters as a extra finish gun from Holland. The story I heard was that it was owned by a wealthy family in the North East and Stored in an attic for years where rodents had urinated on it. I believe it, it was deeply pitted to say the least. I struck out what I could and the remainder was micro welded, then the engraving re-cut, rust blued finish.

Steve,
That is impressive metal restoration. I love the lines and geometry of the stock. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That is pretty amazing. The microwelding and rebluing on the barrel and sling band looks perfect. I hope the owner really enjoys using this rifle. That is incredibly nice work.

Urinating on a Holland and Holland should be a "hanging offense", if not "drawing and quartering".

Turned out fantastic. Looks even better in person. Pictures just does not do it justice.

There is something extra special about a British magazine rifle -that has been returned to its
former state of the 1920s or earlier.
John Taylor would gladly have taken delivery on this rifle.

I shot the rifle this week. Shoots as nice as it looks. I took along a sister rifle a 275 H&H magnum. We are fortunate to have companies like CH4D and Hawk bullet that still support the reloading dies and bullets to allow us to manufacture discontinued ammunition.
