Obviously, someone is after that #3 buttstock. I like it myself, but the gaps are there and may be bigger on the next gun that wears that wood. If anyone here is bidding and would like to talk about that stock, PM me.

It can be fixed . colin stolzer can make a new set of barrels . price would probably be around 2k . only 2 7/8" chmaber he wouldnt do a 3.5" becuase he doesnt have a ffl to work on modern guns or calibers / but he does nice work . he is currently making a 2 ga sxs

Neat! A two-gauge SXS!! A combination 12 and 20 I hope?

Now which pocket did I put those pesky shells in? Hmmm... I thought I already dropped a shell in that chamber... oh well, maybe not. I'll just put one in now... where'd I put those twelves... oh, here they are - nope that's a twenty... okay here's a twelve :shock:

Dean, I think Milton meant 2 gauge as in really BIG holes.....:shock:

.....oh.... nevermind.

Milton, anyone who could make a new set of barrels that would add to the value of that gun would not be doing it for two grand.

Take a close look at the wood to metal fit at the back of the action. Adding $2k to a GH action with a stock that needs final fitting would not be wise. Add to that amount a few hundred $$ to fit the stock and perhaps more to build and checker a new forend and one would have to spend $3k plus the unknown auction price of the action for a rebuilt gun.

That is more than I paid for a very nice DH 10 or equally nice GH 10 with British proofed for 3.5 Tons. Better shop around...

PS: I've learned the hard way that when an old gun has external "issues" it probably has internal issues as well. Anyone got a couple extra top lever springs, and complete safety parts... I should have known!

if a person had another set of barrels from another old shooter a person would not be out to much just tofit the barrels and make a ney fore arm and just shoot the gun instead of trying to make it new again...charlie
