    Nice! Is it a coincidence or you like case hardening?

    Thanks. This one turned out really nice, wood was pretty plain looking, checkering was mostly gone cch and blue was pretty far gone aswell. Stock had a crack somewhere I can’t rember and now I can’t find it! Very pleased

    I will have an a5 16ga cch soon (1910 with special order pistol grip), I t should be just as interesting. I have 6 barrels that fit the thing when it comes back.

    That’s a beautiful restoration and piece along with the one above it. I am not a SxS fan but appreciate nice workmanship and examples. CCH looks nice and is very interesting subject within itself. I find it fascinating that strong UV over time actually bleaches it and changes the spectrum to the eye.

    Thanks guys, Cole Haugh (Jacks son) and Jacob ( 3rd generation gun smith Jacks grandson) did this one and I am extremely pleased. I absolutely loved this Meffert gun and these guys knocked it out of the park. The gun is an entry level gun from Meffert but he just put out quality and the retailer finished it at a high level with better wood checkering and an ivory mid bead. Another round of polishing and finishing from the Haugh boys just put it over the top. It really looks, feels and shoots like a best gun. Round action and sleek as any Dickson with 31” barrels, 6lbs, M & F chokes it is a dream dove gun. All for less than 1500.00. I actually like this thing better than the 20k Merkel drop lock I stold couple weeks ago.

    Very nice, you will forgive my ignorance, are those gun "darne"?
