I think Mike Bailey and generalwar should be banned from posting anymore pics of their doubles. It has induced a serious case of double envy.

What are Napier cloths 450,? I have a silica packet in there. Usually it happens to the guns used most, the Bosis is fine, it only goes to the UK on pheasant shoots but a Perazzi SCO I have in there which goes to the range every week and is always kept oiled (as are all the guns) always gets
surface rust on it on the lock plates (bulimo engraving and a coin finish are a death knell here), under the safety etc, as it gets up to 45 deg C every summer and you sweat your balls off I guess that doesn't help, still, they are tools and I do the best i can to keep them OK, rgds, Mike

It looks as a large silica pack, se the link for details. First i tought it was a fraud, but a lab did some test and it apparantly works.

Mine are a bit embarrassing after seeing some of the very high quality doubles here. Anyway, here are my two.

First is a Merkel 140.2.1 in 500NE.

Next is a Chapuis UGEX in 9.3X74R.

It's a start! I have my eye on a few more for the immediate future!

I'm like HogPilot - almost hesitant to show my rather plain looking Krieghoff here, but I have a question for the group.

Thats mine on the left, and Richard's on the right.

Both are factory engraved by Krieghoff, and mine has a buffalo on the left and a black rhino on the right side.

Compared to the two sides which I think are rather nicely done, the underside is obviously very plain. So my question is this; If I find a qualified engraver to add to the bottom in more or less the same style as what already is on the rifle, do I risk ruining the gun? Am I at that point trying to make it into something that its not?

Opinions please.
