Anyway the gun had been restocked with a very nicely figured piece of dark walnut in straight grip and it had the correct trigger guard with serial number although certainly not original . The new stock has what I’d call trap/pigeon dimensions . While I was drooling the gentleman pulled out a second set of Belgian made fluid steel 10 gauge 3 1/2” 32” barrels that had Briley thin walls . So to make a long story short it followed me home . Saturday I got one of the chokes out and it was lite mod , the other was to tight so I got it out Monday snd it was IC so I got on the horn with Briley and a wrench along with an IM and F are headed my way .

I love that wood Craig! The color and figure are perfect for a hammer gun.
Here's a pin-lifter with similar wood.
