I second their finish to anyone who likes a matte finish. It is nicer than most, with finer than usual bead blasting done, leaving a velvety like appearence.
The inverted crown on Zebulon's gun isn't just for looks or protection, it will actually make the gun more accurate by truing up the crown. I had that same crown (11 degree) put on a Super Redhawk, and my groups shrunk by about 50% at 25 yards with all of my loads save one.

Gun 4 Fun....Thank you for the correction. I did that all by myself from memory.....
I've had a few of these done and dreamed of Mag-Na-Port Snubs for years before I actually got one....I should know better. I certainly agree, these folks are artisans. I'm planning a 2" 64 done in the same manner this year. Thank you again.......Zebulon
