There was a Purdy up here ,that was brought back from England after WWII ,the barrels were sawn off,and a hole drilled between the ribs and one in the butt stock to accommodate the 1/4 in rope sling .....I guess desperate times call for desperate measure

The old guy who had it ,for a lark contacted Purdy about new barrels I don't remember the exact amount but I believe it was something like $15,000

really?

would you work with a body shop that leaves bondo in a lump like that?

I have used bondo to build up a stock or fill imperfections prior to duplicating, doesn't take much to smooth it off


i would like to know the why on this- some hand deformity maybe

I think Brian nailed it. The guy's middle finger kept getting slammed by the trigger guard so he eliminated the problem. I don't see any sign of a cracked wrist...

The sellers of such guns usually have them priced as though they were in 90% or better condition.

I wonder if there is any way to remove the wood putty and see if it's ok under the "custom work"

Wouldn't Laquer Thinner of Acetone soften it? I believe so if it were Plastic Wood...

I am sure it could be remedied with a little work. but you wouldn't be able to remove the guard without getting the crap off.

Paint stripper will remove body filler. A layer at a time.

A 4-1/2" angle grinder with a 36 grit disc will also remove it....faster, too. Wear respiratory protection and make sure the wife is far from home if you choose to do it in the kitchen.
