I will be away until this weekend, but I'll get some close-ups of the reciever when I get back.

George,

I've never seen a D grade with FDL carving in the grip before. Maybe I'm wrong....

Looking thru my safe, I think I found the perfect candidate. An old 1906 ejector gun, that came out of an estate. I'm not in this gun that much, (2700 bucks) so I thought I would post the questions here.
#1: What recoil pad?
Add a palm swell?
Add a BT FE?
What about choke tubes?
Here's some pics of the gun I'm talking about:
32" BBLs and great dimensions to start with


Nice and tight, with pretty engraving (I like that)


Nice wood (I like that too)


Shown here with recoil pad that it will need


This will unfortunately have to go


I will save this as a souvenir


Underside, showing the cool grip cap


Does this look like the correct angle?


Now to add the pad


What's the best way to turn this into a beavertail FE? Add wood to this one, or start from scratch?




I realise I should have started this post at the beginning of the month, but thanks for any input you might have.

can' what to see what it looks like when your finished scott

Todd bring the old girl to the U.P. shoot and I'll show ya how to shoot her just the way she is

Destry you forget my DHE 20 with the FDL.

Even old pipeline welders know some basic carpentry and cabinetry. I have a 12" DeWalt Compound Miter saw, and I use the same trick I do when making rip or cross cuts to length on paneling with either a sabre saw or a circular saw- Good side (if there is a choice) down and I mark the layout with heavy painter's masking tape before snapping the chalk line- that keeps the tearing from the blade's teeth from shredding the cut. When you use a table saw or a power miter bow, as shown, as the blade revolution is opposite that of a circular saw, then you put the good side up on the table or frame--

That being said, I hope that was a "gag" foto and not for real. I recall fotos of the Winchester Custom shop circa 1980 in a SC article about the Model 21- the stocker was cutting the butt to a scribed line on masking tape and he was using a Band Saw- not a Miter Box- I figured he might just have known what he was doing.

Rich,

I remember your DHE with the FDL but still remain unconvinced.
