W C Scott
 

Thanks to Brad Bachelder this old gun really dose deserve to be posted under the thread other FINE DOUBLES. I was going to post before and after pictures But apparently I did not save the before pic's. Sorry. I guess a brief description will have to do. The wood was the best part of the old gun. It was pretty dirty and had worn checkering. Some one had drilled a hole in the locks and inserted the wrong screw as a replacement. They had hot blued the barrels and all the receiver parts. The ribs were loose and bent. The old girl needed a face lift.

Ops . looks like I forgot something.

Great gun. WC Scott made some beautiful hammerguns. Always good see one brought back from the brink. Well done.

wow this old scott sure looks like she just came out of a box a new gun she is..she certainly is a new gun now..you talk about long range turkey gun......charlie

Fantastic job on Brad's part. Love the Jones under lever. Would be proud to carry that in the field.

I love seeing the guns that have been brought back too

My hat's off to Bachelder on the case colours. Very "English". Almost St. Ledger style...

Finally. A US shop gets them right.


BTW... I'm sure Wayne knows that it is properly W. & C. Scott, per William and Charles Scott.

Wayne that is one beautiful 8 gauge and brads work is exemplary as always. Have you made plans to shoot her yet?

Shot it this morning. Surprisingly easy to shoot. Recoil is'nt bad with blue dot and 1 3/4oz of shot. Preformed the Dr Pepper can test. A little gun shy with the first shot. Almost missed the first can. Second can is toast.
