Finishing a couple new rifles

[Dave Roelle]

Jim I had a Browning superposed trap that was like glass looked very good till the rib came off. I really liked that gun.
I'm with you on the hand rubbed finish. I just finished knocking the gloss off now it looks like the bottom one.

Darn Kurt those are just beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!

i typically use pure un-refined tung oil, at 1 hand rubbed coat a day it takes me about a month to get the results i like-----with the pure product i don't get the "gloss" at all. the final step is a buffed coat of floor wax, leaving a matt finish that repels water like a ducks back

stay safe
