Beautiful piece of wood.
What did that one sell for? |

My only repro had outstanding wood which is typical. If there is one area where the repro’s are better than the originals, this is it. Because of wood, I decided to refinish it with oil and re-do the checkering. I also redid the barrels using the slow rust blue process. It certainly didn’t need it but I felt batter about the gun with the old style finish. I don’t know how they did it in Japan but it certainly looks good. I’m just finicky about some things.
The gun certainly looked nice and I was going to include it in my grouse gun arsenal. But I hunted about a year with it and decided to sell the gun. That particular gun was too heavy to for a 20 bore, in my opinion and didn’t feel lively in my hands. I understand the 28 bores are jewels for handling and shooting. |

I added a BHE 20GA from the Southern. 26" Ic/Mod, Straight Stock/Slinter, DT and 14 3/4" LOP. I only wish it had the wood of some of those shown here by others!!
