Hey Chuck, welcome! Is Jaqua's still selling off their "last batch" or are they just continuing trading in Repros?
Tell us about your 1-frame 12's. Dean |

Hi Dean,
My 28g is a secondhand one that someone closeted. It's been fired but not much. 28" M/F straight stock, SST. splinter. It was a consigned gun. The #1 frame guns are both G grade extractor guns. One is a 28" pistol grip gun that has been restocked nicely. The other is a 26" straight stocked gun that I'm in the middle of restocking and has .040/.005 chokes and is a great little upland gun. I had to re-lay the ribs on the 28" gun. It was my first job re-laying ribs. I had been working up to such a job and searched and prodded for information on how to do it. I found it fairly straightforward. I won't go so far as to say it was easy, but it wasn't terribly difficult either. I did a tutorial with pics on it as I went and posted on doublegunshop.com. RevDocDrew (Drew Hause) posted most of it on his doublegun knowledge website. http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/18691676 I did some experimentation on a sample damascus tube with some of the information that Dr Gaddy published along with some of my old emails with him. I got a great result for a black and white pattern and I'm ready to do the barrels I re-layed . |

I don't know if I'd have the guts to tackle a rib re-laying job even though one of my Parkers could benefit from it.
Have you shot the gun since re-laying it? I wonder if POI is affected by such work... People like Drew and the late Oscar are invaluable to the double gun community - we're lucky to have such people. |

Dean,
I've shot it on a board as well as clays and hunted it since the job. No problems. I spent a lot of time ensuring it went back together just as it had come apart. |

Nice work on the Damascus.
The rest of the gun looks like Turnbull's work - is it? That's a very nice GH... I'm very envious. |
