A couple of No4's de-sportertized over the last few weeks...

A couple more No4 finished; I call this pair "Beauty and the Beast"...

Bedding of the forends went relatively well for both.

The blonde one is a Longbranch with a really great bore, sadly the receiver was drilled and tapped for a Weaver TO-1 mount; still, it should shoot well.

The one in walnut furniture took a bit more work. The receiver did see some grinder or rough tool, I think a previous owner was attempting (really poorly) to bring the metal in the white. I resolved to sandblasting the metal to bring some sort of half-decent surface texture to it, then reblued it. Ended up looking not too too horrible. Hope it'll shoot well, otherwise it won't have much on the "plus" side...





Here's the one from the UK, it's the top barreled action in the picture below.


Then after a few hours of work...
