My two working hammer guns are 10 gauges. I have two in the shop (one with Brian Dudley and one with Darlington Gun Works) that are 12 gauges and am looking forward to having some 12's to shoot. Then I need a 16 . . .

At least 16 gauge hammer guns are harder to find. If it is not there, it is hard to get tempted.

They don't show up on the gun websites very much, while 12 and 10 gauges are a dime a dozen

oil removal from stock.
Patrick, I have had some experience trying to remove oil from an oil soaked stock. You may have seen my references to the "boathouse gun" and it was a prime example fo an oil soaked stock. When I first received the gun, someone had spray painted the entire gun black...good paint job as there were no runs. After I remove the black paint with an aircraft paint stripper I found that the stock had quite a bit of soaked in oil. I tried many of the conventional methods...acetone soaking, paint thinner soaking, more paint remover, acetone mixed with whiteing compound. ...no good results. I was working on the stock one day and stopped to do another chore and as I passed by my truck, I placed the stock in the bed of my truck. When I came back 30-45 minutes later the stock was soaking wet with the oil that had leached out of the stock. I immediately wiped it down with an acetone soaked rag and put it back in the bed of my truck. I was able to remove all of the oil from the stock in one afternoon by this method. Now, bear in mind that I live in the Tampa, Florida area and it was rather warm that day but, the heat process works and I have had no problem with the finish on the stock. By the way, the "boat" shot a 25 in the Parker-Smith hammergun challenge at the Southern this year so the oil removal method did not hamper the functions of the shotgun.. Jim Garrett
