since you show the action open, can we assume the foreend iron is still there?

as a former F&I re-enactor - good pipe hawks material is scrap muzzleloader barrels

Beaver Bill used to do them from scrap sections he got from Getz, the one I just sold still had rifling in the bore, not sure if pieces would be available from Rice or Colerain.

Not sure what the foreend iron is?

He is talking about the forearm piece. The piece of wood under the barrels.

No forearm piece at all. I would need that also.

[King Cobb]

If it is indeed a 3 or D grade it could be a lovely gun when fixed up. It won't be cheap though. Brian Dudley could probably give you an idea what you would be in for. Any chance you could take a closer pic of the side of the reciever and the water table (where the barrels rest on the receiver) under side of the barrel flats would be interesting as well.

Also you might check with your friend to see if he has any other parts for the gun. The more you have the better.

The gun is a grade 3 (or DH). I can just make out the DH engraving on the frame.

If you have no forend then what is holding the action to the barrels in the open state shown in the photos? Something tells me that you at least have the Forend iron. Just no wood.

[King Cobb]

I figured it was, but wasn't confident that the circles weren't for a gh.

Actually As Brian also suspects. I was asking about the metal part

I think it is just no wood. I'll get more picts tomorrow.

[King Cobb]

I didn't even know you could attach the metal without the wood.
