Well today we have a little progress on the forend.

A complete strip and clean of the forend wood often makes some of the component pieces fall apart. Notice the horn tip off to the side. At least with this gun, we didn't have to make a new horn tip.



As is often the case, some of the wood had been damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced. On the first Daly it was really just at various small points along the bead edge. With this one it was a fairly substantial piece that needed to be spliced in.



And now we have the tip back on properly and the rest of the forend in good shape.



Here's what that splice looks like when it's all finished.
