10 GA 1883 GRADE 2
12 Attachment(s)
Over one year but finally as complete as it is going to be. Grade 2, toplever, 1883, 30", 10 lbs. 1 ounce, IM & F, .030 in right and .035 choke in left, .050 minimum thickness. Stock was missing a piece behind left hammer and in bad shape. Thanks to Greg C. for selling it to me, Dale Edmonds for barrel refinishing, Danny Patton on the wood, Tom Carter for the new hammer screws, Thierry Duguet cleaned up and reengraved the screws and I did the nitre bluing. Took it after geese today, but no shots taken.
Discussion on barrels to follow in a different thread. Four different patterns on the Damascus barrels, and this is a Grade 2!:eek: |
Congrats on a beautiful 10 bore !
