Here are photos of the stock blank I picked out for this 20g. hammer gun. I have had this one kicking around for a while. I think it is not too much. Just nice enough.

Perfect if you ask me.

If it was me I would step up a bit for a C grade. That looks more like a D grade. Most C's have a pretty nice piece of French. JMHO

David,
You must be a little confused with my other post maybe. This 20 g hammer gun will be built in a grade 2 style.

Brian
Sorry, that is just perfect for a grade 2 gun.

I stopped by Brian's table at the local gun show this morning- as you would expect, the pictures do not do this project justice.

can't wait to see this when it is done

also- Brian showed me a set of barrels he finished, nice deep black, not a flaw in sight.

this guy has talent we haven't seen yet.

Thank you for the kind words Rick. It was good to see you this morning.

Waiting for the next installment. This is better than Game of Thrones :corn:
