Brian does it again....20ga VH 1906

[Jim P.]

This 1906 VH 20ga was lettered with a "straight grip" in the order book. When purchased, it had a PG that was definitely a replaced stock with a wrist much thicker than normal (see first photo comparing it to another 0 frame gun) as well as other modifications.

Brian Dudley worked his magic and brought the stock back to life including a correct Silvers pad......here are some "before and after" photos. They don't do justice to Brian's wonderful work but you'll see the results.

Thank you, Brian!

Very nice. It seems a lot of restock wind up with a thicker wrist for some reason, which loses the gracefulness of a Parker stock.

[B. Dudley]

Thanks Jim,

The pistol grip stock was a Remington replacement. It had the "Dogbone" in the head of the stock and was fitted with a Remington grip cap.

The fat stock allowed for plenty of wood to be able to rework it into a straight grip.

Beautiful work Brian!

[Mike Franzen]

That turned out really nice. How long are the barrels?

[Jim P.]

They are 26", double ivory beads, look like "new" and not originally specified (except for length) per the letter, Mike

Brian - I thought it was a Remington replacement but there were no codes stamped on the water table which is why we get the caveat with our letters....

Remington repair codes are "always" stamped on the left barrel flat... not on the water tables.
