Thread: English & Spanish side by sides

This thread almost made me start cleaning up my old SxS since I got it working properly. But I don't have checkering tools or know how to checker yet. I might borrow the engaver from school and go over the old worn out engraving though and have a go at blueing the old metal.

And first you have to make the cutter to do that flat top checkering as you cant buy them. There are ways around that though

I have seen more than one nice shotgun ruined by a so called 'restoration' job and one thing that really sticks out is when the original flat top checking has been redone with a Dembart checkering tool
