I love my gun.

Did yours have the nose-cap and the thimble pinned in? How did you finish these sand down the metal and hot brown/cold brown or........

When I get to shoot I probably will love mine too. I hope my wife don't get jealous.

I left everything on except the barrel and browned that with a propane torch, plum brown. left everything else in the white, sanded, stained and oiled. none of the metal needed filing except the tang area, the barrel finnish was great already.
