This 20 gauge is built on a 1 frame. As far as the Lyman sights I am guessing that they wanted the double ivory beads for low light conditions. The barrel as it sits right now has a brass front bead that was clearly replaced. The center bead is ivory but has been broken off and not much is left. I will attempt to find a set of real ivory beads to install as part of the restoration project. If anyone has a set or knows where I can find them please let me know. Lyman makes a " plastic" ivory looking bead, but prefer to replace with real ivory.
Thanks Phil

Thanks guys I will be talking with Jerry next week. Thanks to Jim DiSpagno I believe I have most everything I need to put this gun together. The stock will be the final item I will need to have made. I will restock it back to original demensions. Will be a 1/2 longer then I like but I can shoot it.

Phil,

If original dimensions work for you, then great. You will end up with a great piece in the end. A gun that letters correctly that you can also shoot.

If the original dimensions aren't real shootable I'd have it stocked up to something that would work for the more general public. It will make the gun far more sale able if you ever want to move it down the road. Even with the original cut to the stock, it will still be a restrock.
