Both guns have had the case coloring redone and were re-blued.

The 20 was done by Doug Turnbull and the 16 was from Connecticut Shotgun. I did not commission the work though, but that is what I was told. In the case of the 20 by the owner who had it done, and I did buy the 16 from Connecticut Shotgun but they had done it up for a customer who decided to sell it.

I sold off most of a 25 year collection of military surplus weapons to start to accumulate some nice hunting guns a while back and although I do regret it some times I get more use out of the shotguns.
