The "black chrome" finish on the SKB's is not shiny,but a soft velvet type finish which is incredibly durable.I bought two of them NIB in the mid seventies and am still shooting them.They both have had chamber, forcing cone, and choke alterations and have digested a huge number of all manner of loads both lead and steel, over the years. The barrels of both guns on the exterior are unmarked and look as new, in spite of heavy use in salt marshes, punts, etc.
An absolutely marvelous finish. One of them accounted for several
Canada geese a week ago, two black brant yesterday, and a snow goose this morning. Wonderful guns.
