After perfect fitting to barrel, receiver and buttplate, each stock and forearm is carefully finish-sanded by hand. Each stock is then oiled and diligently rubbed to a soft, glowing finish.

After polishing and fitting, both hammer and trigger are carefully prepared for the Nitre-bluing process which renders them into jewel-like pieces. Screws are nicely polished and Heat-treated to a deep Sapphiric Blue like that of the triggerguard/mainspring.

Pacific Rifle Company utilizes a slow rusting process to provide a deep, rich, yet very durable brown finish to the barrel, receiver and to the buttplate of the Basic rifle.

For those individuals desiring a touch of exclusivity, Zephyr's Steel receiver lends itself well to further embellishment with multiple facets upon which our engraver may ply his art.

Which, when combined with the Casehardened Coloring of the Zephyr's receiver and buttplate and fitted with a Fancier grade of highly-finished figured walnut, comprises our Deluxe treatment option.

Partially engraved Deluxe receiver depicts detail of hand-cut scrolls.

For those requiring extra work, such as gold inlays or monogram or inscriptions, we will be happy to quote your desires.

Pacific Rifle Company is also proud to offer a fitting service of stocks of extra-long Length of Pull for our customers of tall stature exceeding 6 feet in height. This service, too, must be quoted seperately.

We, the artisans of Pacific Rifle Company, would be honoured with the privilege of crafting a Zephyr for you.

First, it is simply elegant. It has pure simple lines and is a joy to handle and carry. It comes to the shoulder quickly and almost seems to aim itself.”

“The worksmanship is particularly fine. The metal to wood fit is excellent. I am very pleased with the beautiful grade of wood used. The browning and blueing of the metal is nicely done.”

"As an admirer and collector of underhammer rifles, now having acquired two specimens of yours, I must say that your Zephyrs are the most innovative, and, in my opinion, the most beautiful, under- hammers ever made in American gunmaking history."
