pistol grip to straight

[Chuck Heald]

WG,
I had a gun with a similar situation and had the same decisions to make. It happened to be a Fox AE with a poor replacement stock that was broken at the wrist. So, no original stock. I chose original species wood for stocking it, but much higher figure. I chose a factory pattern but an X grade pattern for checkering. I did stick to the original pistol style.

Here are several pics of the VH that is getting restored first..Never got the PH yet, should have it in the mail tomorrow morning hopefully. I do have an inletted blank for the VH, not shown here in the pics, but may upgrade to another higher figured piece of walnut for the butt and forend, (forend in pics is only a "slap on" that the previous owner had in order to use it for hunting. The receiver and most other metal has been cold-blued at somepoint in it's life, the barrels will be getting a rust blue before it's all over.

I'm also going to need a few replacement screws as well, couple stripped out/buggered.
