Default Shout Out To Lou Rotelli

I wanted to give kudos to Lou Rotelli. I sent a D grade gun to Lou to replace some buggered screws and while it was there we decided to fix some chips and dents in the wood and lightly refinish the stock. Both the screws and wood look great.

Thanks Randy. When I bought it it had an older, amateur looking refinish job. I was pretty sure there was a nice piece of wood under there. It’s a 63,000 serial number with factory cylinder bore in the right and full in the left of the 30” damascus barrels. Not quite long enough for you. Haha

Lou made a cocking slide for me for a Fox shotgun. Was perfect.

PS. I asked Lou if he worked on many Foxes and he said not many, as the don't break near as often as the Parkers.
