Hello everyone! New member here from Baton Rouge / New Orleans area.
About 8 months ago, I acquired a 12ga VH Frame 2 (SN 151252) from one of my employees who inherited it from his father. I gave him the option of buying it back in case he had seller's remorse a few months down the line but it doesn't look like he is interested in buying it back. So now I am starting the process of researching the gun (I have zero knowledge on vintage guns; I am more of a modern gun enthusiast) and aren't sure the route I want to take yet.
I'd probably like to get it cleaned up, a new forend installed as well as a butt plate which it is now currently missing. I look forward to receiving my research letter as well as finding out more about this gun.
Anyone have any tips on how to separate the barrel from the frame? I can't seem to get mine off and don't want to damage the gun.
Pictures to follow.
