Sweet bird gun- any chance I could get on your "custodian care card" for MI? I have two Browning Gun Safes with S&G locks and stainless bars-could find room in the "Colt Box" for that VH- I have a few of my son-in-laws M94's and M92's in there right now--
I have been lusting after a 10 bore 32" Lindner Daly with Krupp Flusshall barrels for about two years now- dealer and collector I know near Niles has it (unless he sold it) DT, extractors, top bolt, fits me like a glove and the balance- and when you open or close it- bank vault precision-
I'm no stock expert, but I might venture a guess- heating and bending to change cast might be easier with a boxlock like yours than a sidelock??
