I traded for this BAR. The metal was perfect, the wood was showing wear. I refinished the wood, sent it to Errol Case in MO to restore the fancy checkering and carving. I then traded it at considerably higher value than what I had in it. Fancy, engraved hunting rifles aren't my cup of tea. I've had a few BAR's. They're OK, just don't have any currently. DF Here's a picture of the re-finished stock, showing some of the re-cut checkering. Upgrading the wood from what it was to this added a lot of value, helped set up the trade for the Dakota and ultimately the Ed Brown Damara, which was an even swap for the Dakota. Check out Hendershots Sporting. Lance has some great guns and will trade if it's something he's interested in. The Dakota was used, stock showed some wear, metal 100%. He sent it back to Dakota for wood refinish, increasing it's value considerably. Just goes to show what some wood restoration can do for a gun's value.

Surprised we haven't seen a Ruger #1 or a Belgian Browning Safari pencil barrel.
DMc top, #1S in 45-70. 1974 DOM. I believe this one has a Douglas barrel. MUCH more quality than the newer ones And the bottom one is a #1B in 30-06. Dom 1976. This one has either a Douglas or a Wilson barrel. I have no idea which.

Nice wood on the '06. Thanks for posting.
Seems the Wilson barrels were hit or miss, some shot very well. I had a .220S red pad with great wood. I think it probably had a Wilson and it was a shooter.
I think the older, red pad guns seem to have better wood than the later black pads.

Your taste in nice guns is impeccable. Thank you for sharing as well. I still have one or two worthy of sharing but it means getting to the back of a couple safes so it will happen later. The #1B '06 has a 26" heavy barrel. This is a GREAT thread considering the current atmosphere in this country. Keep them coming fellas.

Nice collection. I have a 26 Nosler on a Rem 700 action, Shilen barrel. Fluted Lilja sounds great.
Any pet loads with that gun?

DF. I seldom have customs done. I find that i can buy them pre-enjoyed at a better value. The story on this one was that it was smithed a number of years ago by ITD Custom Guns. Anywho it is a shooter. I took it a couple months back to check zero along with a couple other guns. Shot once and put it back in the case. Why mess up a one hole group. ya! GWB
