Inspired by an 1100 I did in Bronze a little bit ago I got a request to do something similar for another INGO'er.

Has is an A5 shotgun Clone. Own cut down the barrel and brought it in to have some refinishing and jeweling done.

that looks pretty sweet!
can you throw us an idea of what that would cost someone?

 

[AllenM]

It's a case by case deal but couple hundred give or take. Maybe less, depends on my mood
Plus take apart and reassemble cost extra

 

[AllenM]

I need to clarify. Paint work on a long gun is between 135 and 150.
I was taking into account the jeweling and drilling I did as well

Holy Crap that turned out nice! I see you jeweled the whole bolt. I know where there is a Remington Model 11 that needs some love....

I cannot wait to pick her up tomorrow!!!!

You stole my thunder I was going to do a big write up on it, but she looks amazing, and great thread!

As Allen said it was blued and in great shape, the bolt needed some TLC and I love how jeweled bolts look so it was an easy choice.

Here are some before pictures:

Sorry about that. It looks so good I couldn't help but post some pics

I warranty the paint work flake off. It will still be subject to wear and tear.
Also that if I screw a gun up I will buy it,

Thank you, I think the bolt looks better this way I also did all the little screws. I wanted to leave them blue but I decide not to layz out.
