Another Grade 3 Lifter of mine. This Grade 3 Lifter with Parker made Laminated Steel barrels was gifted to me by Austin Hogan while on his death bed.
This gun will never leave my possession.

Some of the very best craftsmen refused to take on this project but our good friend Keavin Nelson has done a great job of repairing the “unrepairable”.

I love the nose of the comb. Beautiful repair!

The most distinctive comb noses are found on these Lifters.

I do not know how beautiful the wood on this gun will be when uncovered, but time will tell

This is a Grade 2 10 gauge I bought at Hausemanns in 2022 . It’s a restock , gun started life as a PG but I’m pretty sure this is a gun Don Kass had restocked .

Bill, maybe yours looks like this one?
I can't even look at my shooters now. Beautiful wood.

Beauty is only skin deep, they are all the same inside. I admit I admire beautiful wood, always have. At my age it’s obvious that I am merely the caretaker and I really enjoy occasionally shooting these works of art. I can’t begin to imagine all of the hunts these beauties have taken part in.
