In a few days I'll be posting pics of the barrels of my Daly I referred to earlier in the thread. The barrels have been through six rusting cycles and are ready for the intermediate etch. I'll then rust another three or four cycles, then perform the final etch and the logwood soak. I should be posting pics around or before next weekend.

I also just picked up another early Daly with the same action. This one has significant stock issues, I'll post some "before" pics once I receive it.

Raimey, do you happen to know what process was used to color the steel buttplate?

Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
