This is my Smythe boxlock ejector. CJDawe refinished the stocks, and recut checkering including the horn buttplate. Nice job, Chris!

In an earlier thread I described repairing and refinishing the muzzles:

And also put some life back into the case by restitching, dyeing, and new straps

Post 23 has a link to the instructions I followed. I found that the skelp rib wasn't taking any colour on due to the acid step so ended up doing a number of cycles without etchant. 1st try at this as will be clear as you follow the thread.
