Just received my 12 Gauge Repro back from my 'smith, after an almost 3 year wait ....

He had a 'few issues' surrounding immigration / sponsorship and personal / business problems, not to mention the finicky demands of my job - single trigger / doubling.

He successfully dealt with the doubling thing and also did a complete ( oil ) refinish of the wood, due to shrinkage of original hard finish ....his words.

Was the finish crazing Tony? (i.e., cracking)

Obliquely viewed and in favourable light, relatively significant rippling of the more expansive areas of the buttstock could be seen.

Tony, you are a VERY patient person.

Here's one of my workhorse guns for training (28ga)

I really like the nicely streaked EW found on some of the Repros. This is one I refinished. It's an oil finish with a very thin coat of Spar Urethane rubbed in for moisture resistance.

Ooops, it's a Fox.

XE 20, 2 barrel set

I'm still looking for a nice Parker Repro 20 bore, straight stock, splinter, 28-inch tubes, double triggers. Case and accessories optional. Nothing else please!

Back on page 12 of this thread I posted pics of a NOS Parker Reproduction replacement stock. This stock was to be a replacement for one of my consecutively numbered pair of Sporting Clays Classics -- one I shoot, the other is NIB unfired. A previous owner whacked the SSBP off to install a recoil pad of the gun I use, the pad has bothered me to the bejeezus as I wanted to bring the gun back to its original configuration. However, the color of the wood of this replacement stock turned out not a particularly good match to that gun's forend and that gun's wood was not a good match to its consecutive numbered gun. I tried to find an original Repro forend to match this stock, but to no avail. So I decided to purchase a blank from Cecil Fredi and have a new splinter forend made to compliment the replacement stock. The color and figure of the replacement stock and soon-to-be-made forend should make this consecutively numbered pair of SCCs appear the factory intended them to be a true pair.

Here's are a couple of pics of the new forend blank with that NOS replacement stock.
