Steve's new GH

[Carl Erickson Jr]

Currently I am shooting 7/8 oz of 7.5 shot in my doubles. My 1889 barrels were nicely cold blued and I will probably want to have them restored. Thanks for the info about someone who can do that kind of work. While the bore is rough as the patterns are good I will leave the bores alone, At some time in the future will have the stock replaced as the wrist repair is not the best .

Kearcher could probably gussy up that wrist repair and save you the bucks on a new stock. He replaced a pretty large chip from the toe of one of my guns and it cannot be detected.

He can also polish up the bores, but you may not want to do that. I don't know how much metal burnishing removes.

I'm one of his only walk in customers. He does almost all of his work by mail. You can call him of course. Or wait and do it later. After all your gun is shooting just fine.

Are you burning black or smokeless? If smokeless, what kind? If I decide to load black I'll use 2F. I'd like to use some nitro powders however.
