W C Scott

Thanks to Brad Bachelder this old gun really dose deserve to be posted under the thread other FINE DOUBLES. I was going to post before and after pictures But apparently I did not save the before pic's. Sorry. I guess a brief description will have to do. The wood was the best part of the old gun. It was pretty dirty and had worn checkering. Some one had drilled a hole in the locks and inserted the wrong screw as a replacement. They had hot blued the barrels and all the receiver parts. The ribs were loose and bent. The old girl needed a face lift.

Fantastic job on Brad's part. Love the Jones under lever. Would be proud to carry that in the field.

I love seeing the guns that have been brought back too

My hat's off to Bachelder on the case colours. Very "English". Almost St. Ledger style...

Finally. A US shop gets them right.


BTW... I'm sure Wayne knows that it is properly W. & C. Scott, per William and Charles Scott.

Wayne that is one beautiful 8 gauge and brads work is exemplary as always. Have you made plans to shoot her yet?

[wayne goerres]

Shot it this morning. Surprisingly easy to shoot. Recoil is'nt bad with blue dot and 1 3/4oz of shot. Preformed the Dr Pepper can test. A little gun shy with the first shot. Almost missed the first can. Second can is toast.
