Default Mr. Dudley delivers on a Fox grouse gun

Did some horsetrading with Brian Dudley who does a lot of work for you Parker guys. I had a PH 12 gauge that Brian liked and I had a late model Sterlingworth 20 Gauge Ejector gun that came with a factory beavertail that I just didn't like the feel of. Long story short, I found a mid grade chunk of English and Brian made me a new stock, round knob, splinter forearm. Took a bit of drilling in the stock, but he got it balanced on the hingepin. Weight it 6 lbs even. Gun feels real good as Brian made it to fit my measurements. Anyway, enjoy. Gun looks better then it shows with my lousy pictures, but one gets an idea. PS. Brian offers end to end service. He hand carried the barrels over to Galazan and got them opened up to IC/Mod for me down from their full/mod. This is now my little grouse gun as I call it.

Where we started:



Where we got:











PS. I have the original stock and forearm as well. Brian was able to use a factory pattern stock he had in the inventory to duplicate.

Also interesting to see that what I thought I had in the blank was correct. Sometimes they get turned and nothing looks like it did. This one turned out to look just like the blank did on both sides.
