Wonderful wood on that H & H. Do both barrels shoot now?

You can start a new thread but the perfect Grouse gun is just an illusion of the combination of wood and steel but its ok with me:rotf:

Yes both bbls work now. It was a simple fix and the Grouse did pay the penalty as did some Pheasants.

Now I know how the one girl at the prom, wearing a homemade dress felt.

I have to agree with most of the posters on this thread. Wood is normaly the first thing I notice on a gun that is sitting on the rack. But then again,.........:shock: My wife asked me once, what is the first thing you notice about a woman? My answer was, "it depends.". She asked " depends on what." I said "it depends on weather the woman is coming or going" :rotf:

:rotf::rotf::rotf:perfect

This one had the homemade dress then went for cleaning, a GHE damascuss 20:)

It is said that the Grade 2 and lower Meriden guns had American Black Walnut but either that one isn't or if it is, it is from a very old tree

What do you think it is? All I can tell is pretty from ugly:rotf:

It looks like American Black but those mineral streaks aren't often seen in American Black unless the tree was ancient.

Oh, incase you were wondering - that one is pretty!

It's ok, there are much nicer ones:)
