16 gauge 1 1/2 frame 32”, coming back to life

[Brian H]

Thank goodness I bought this one cheap because it was ROUGH. It’s on the bench.

Good luck Chris Dawe!

[OH Osthaus]

from what I have seen, Chris doesn't need luck

looking forward to seeing the finished project

[Dean Romig]

I completely agree Rick, about Chris not needing any luck at all.

This is the gun Dawe mentioned on another thread. We talked about putting back as a restoration VH but the rib matting is an absolute mess, many deep pits. The rest of it is all very fixable. The other option is an upgrade of some sort, take all the matting off. Engrave a nice barrel script on the rib.

I little more wood off, finish in a day or so

[Jim DiSpagno]

Very nice Brian. I presume that is the work of Master stocker Dawe, correct?

[Brett Hoop]

Well clearly you guys are not going the VH route. And everyone of your combined efforts are home runs!

[James Palmer]

I have a 16 ga VH 32 1 1/2 frame with straight grip and no safety. About to go I n for resto now.

[Brian H]

I little bit of finish and this darn wood is all screwed up, I told Dawe I wanted pretty straight grain not all this ugly figured stuff…..geez!

Brian,
I think I may just be able to live with that screwed up wood. Let's make a deal.
Great gun and wood!!!
