Thank goodness I bought this one cheap because it was ROUGH. It’s on the bench.

Good luck Chris Dawe!

I completely agree Rick, about Chris not needing any luck at all.

This is the gun Dawe mentioned on another thread. We talked about putting back as a restoration VH but the rib matting is an absolute mess, many deep pits. The rest of it is all very fixable. The other option is an upgrade of some sort, take all the matting off. Engrave a nice barrel script on the rib.

Very nice Brian. I presume that is the work of Master stocker Dawe, correct?

Well clearly you guys are not going the VH route. And everyone of your combined efforts are home runs!

Brian,
I think I may just be able to live with that screwed up wood. Let's make a deal.
Great gun and wood!!!
