I would think adding a safety to that gun would be a fairly simple task for a competent gunsmith.
Nice gun, BTW. |

Yes, A local friend has indicated he has most of the parts on hand and once we can see inside he'll know what else he may need.

You have a good honest start there by the looks of it. The gun has a lot going for it.
The ejectors are factory parker ejectors. The addition of a safety back into the gun would not be that big of a deal.

Thanks. The plan is to install a safety, re-case the action and fore end iron, re-blue the barrels and trigger guard and refinish the wood. Should be even more beautiful.

Very nice! Looks like a pretty honest, original gun. Gotta be a story on the fore end. Got nice dimensions for upland game, what's not to like? Congrats on the purchase. I personally would like a functional safety to carry in the field, think that's a smart addition.

Dan, we lived in Minford, ohio for 7 years while on assignment at the gas centrifuge plant. I hunted grouse in your area many times. Southern and Eastern Ohio out Jackson way held good grouse covers. Many fond memories.

I've heard stories of huntable grouse populations in E and SE Ohio but never hunted grouse in Ohio. Living on the northern edge of the state makes Michigan a much preferred (and superior) grouse hunting destination. I was also fortunate enough to make it up into your neck of the woods to hunt a few days in New Hampshire last year and plan to do so again this year.
