Thank you gentlemen I appreciate your comments. I have now finished off with a protective coat of beeswax which polishes up to a pleasant sheen.

I am visiting the US later this month with my wife for a nice relaxing bit of Florida sunshine. I hope to get to the Florida Gun Show at Tampa showgrounds on the 19th or 20th, may get lucky with some 37 parts! Also will be good lo see what we are missing over here!

To bad you are visiting the other side of the country! Oh well but if you ever happen to visit Ohio let me know.

Thanks for the invite, I hope to be able to take you up on it maybe next year as I make a mini pilgrimage to Ithaca Falls NY then drive to Upper Sandusky. (that's half a plan anyhow!)
Florida was great (as always, brilliant weather, lovely people) I visited the Florida gun show at Tampa Fairgrounds, met some great people and chewed over our respective woes and problems (shooting related ones that is) Couldn't buy much but was like kid in candy store!
I had delivered to my vacation home a couple of the Connecticut Shotgun sunburst butt pads for my ongoing restorations and look forward to fitting and grinding them to shape. Whilst they are replicas, they seem exceptionally good in the logo detail and material composition.
On my return I picked up the English 20g again and after seeing some fine guns in the States decided to polish the receiver. Its not finished yet but I'm quite pleased so far. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I like it and the polished finish will take a re-black should I decide to do so

It is a bit different. I am about 2 hours north of Upper Sandusky. About 15 minutes east of a large amusement park know as Ceder Point.
