Default 20 dollar hardware gun!

I picked this gun up as a project, it was advertised as probably not functional. They were right, nothing worked. I took it apart and found everything on the inside was rusted shut. A little kroil, brass brush and a whole lot of swearing, now I have my 20 dollar clays gun! The stock and forearm were replaced sometime in the past it's a little thick in the grip, but I'll get it work down a little later.

A little elbow grease and wood cleaner goes a long way! It has a Fajen stock that was rough cut, smoothed it out. I just got done shaping the grip and getting it closer to a Trojan. I'll get pics up when its done, I'm kicking myself for not photographing the process, would have been a cool article for the next parker pages.
