ok better pics. Got bit the heck up by skeeters. They are horrible lately. They are even out during the day time. Going to have to mow some grass down or something because they are terrible. Looks like i have acne all over my forearms and neck LOL. Darn skeeters.

Here we go. I love the dark chocolate plum brown color on the barrel.

I really like the pickled (?) finish on the escutcheons and fore-end cap. But another picture of your pickled face won't be necessary.

LOL oh but you must see at least one of me with the rifle!

The nose cap i went and soaked a paper towel with bleach, wrapped it up and put it into a plastic bag to get the antique look. After that i washed everything off, put it back into the plastic bag, place in the hot sun for 2 days until it aged more and got a bit rusty around the corners. Just to add a little aged look to it. I never really did it this way before but the next GPR i own, will get this treatment.

Magnificent. Every bit of wood and furniture shows so much character.
