Some photos of the action of a Quality C. Top action hammer. The action is nice, the Bernard barrels need work but are not cut, the stock is highly figured but dark European walnut and a new forend will need to be made. The stock is being refinished and will be really nice. Skeleton butt.

This is a gun worth restoration and it will be done correctly.

On a related issue, a machinist of small parts has asked if there is a small part that sometimes needs replacement that he could supply. I'm thinking check hooks, particularly since they are all the same size and occasionally break. I keep an extra in my travel gunsmith kit. Suggestions from readers would be appreciated.
