Here are a few pics of my GH 20 - 32” straight grip 0 frame. This gun has been well used but not abused. It absolutely crushes targets and will get its chance on ducks in October. I expect it had a life of doves and varmints as it supposedly came from a single family owner in the south.

I recognize refinishing is a personal decision. One that is most often not taken lightly - given the expense and the fact you are (in my opinion) getting back a significantly different gun than you dropped off. But I am one who encourages others to embrace the scars. Love the scratches. Appreciate all of the dings and small dents and mars in the wood.

As much as I appreciate Andrews refinished gun, I would love to have held it prior to being sent out. I think it was wise of him to catalog the history of the gun through photos before the refurbish- something that can travel with the gun to its new caretaker in the future. Just one man’s opinion.
