BH Project Grouse Gun
 

What can I say? I'm a sucker for project guns and I end up losing money on almost all of them. But yet here wea are.

Gun is a 1.5 frame BH, and I had some orphan 12 gauge 26" reproduction barrels. Going to try and have the barrels fitted, and if they can be the plan is for a mild restoration. Stock redone at least. the barrels are Q1/Q2 so I'm hoping to make it my grouse gun.

Is this the BH Josh L had for sale that the original 26” barrels had been cut?

Kirk: Good luck with your project, but think twice about restoring the stock it has so much character and history. A restore would wipe it all away.

it is. interesting letter too, sent back 3 times for dent repair.

Looks like Mr. Pratt wasn't too careful with his gun.

Nice. Certainly worthy of your efforts. Do you have the forend? More pics?
Sorry, I see the other photo. That stock looks like a beautiful piece of wood.

What a beauty!

Do you also have the original 26" barrels? Looks to be another set of barrels in a box at the bottom of the picture.
Good luck with the project and of course pictures when you are done.

Sounds like Mr. Pratt was a serious bird hunter.

I have the original Titanic Steel barrels, they've been shortened to 24". I find it interesting that one of the special instructions was "1 1/2 frame". I thought that frame size wasn't something that a customer would be aware of.
