VHE Restoration
Brad Bachelder is in the process of restoring an estate VHE that I picked up a few years back. Shot it for about a year but came to the conclusion that I would shoot it much better if I had a stock that was better fitted to my dimensions. Went to Covey and Nye and Lars fitted me out fine. I will retain all the original wood on this gun as there's nothing wrong with it except the dimensions. This VHE came out of the estate of the late Henry F. Tenney, a noted lawyer from Illinois, close personal friend of Adlai Stevenson and one time candidate for Governor of Illinois. It was Henry's wife's Parker that she shot skeet with. Original stock had been cut short to fit his wife. Too short with too much drop for me.
Pictures are of the old stock on the VHE and the replacement walnut blank that I purchased from Cecil Fredi in Los Vegas from a selection of a half dozen blanks. Brad is also re-case coloring. Barrels require no restoration. I am looking forward to seeing the results of Brad's work and shooting this VHE with greater confidence. It will go well with the English setter pup that's coming this Spring. I can't wait for both to arrive!
