Default the "can this be fixed" lifter 12ga
Well I know some said walk away and some said run away, but I think I got it cheap enough to bring it back to a safe shooter. The stock has a couple repairs and may have been refinished at some point. It has mismatched hammers also. Bores are fair. Lock up is tight.

Have you been able to determine who E.Bridges was?

Looks like hot lead was poured into the hole in the stock behind the butt plate.

it maybe lead. It wieghs right at 10Lbs. I have not been able to find out who E. Bridges is. The shotgun came to me from New York. My mothers maiden name was Bridges but I doubt there is any relation.

You know what is very odd...? The name stamps on your gun on the water table and the barrel flats. I once owned another early lifter that also had a name stamped on it in the same exact way, in the same locations and in the same font even. Different name. But same in every other way.

A real strange coincidence.
