That, in my opinion, is one of your finest compositions Mike.   I like the classic lines and the drop looks like it'd make a comfortable shooter.  The wire work encircling the punched and stained area is subtle, classy and appealing.  Is that actually darker staining in those areas, or did the stock stain just take darker where punched?   There's a lot of work there Mike, but it all came together really well.   God Bless,  Marc
No, nothing special about the stain in the punched area, It's got the same stain as the rest of the gun, ferrous nitrate. (Kibler's)

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
