If you kiss enough frogs....
I like buying old rusty doubles to refinish and "fix up" I always look for something cheap and bad enough I wont feel bad if I screw it up. I recently found this wc scott that looked like it fit the profile of one of my projects. The first series of pictures is the internet ad for the gun. (I talked the guy down a little). The gun came a couple of days ago and i opened it up and the first surprise is that while it was advertise as a 12 it was actually a 16 (okay with me) I got out the Hoppes 9 and started rubbing on it an the the more crud that came off the more excited I got. Really nice engraveing alot of case color, barrels are quite good with very little if any pitting, wood is great. The forend a little banged up but all in all its a pretty nice gun. (See the attached after pics) has a grouse on one side and really nice spaniel on the other (my phots dont do it justice the engraveing is top notch.) Anyone know about these old english Scotts?
