Who was bidding on the bernard CH

[Eldon Goddard]

I was bidding on this gun but lost. Just wondering if anyone else on the forums was bidding. Bernard Cs are my dream guns, but I feel in an auction you must set a limit and not go past it or it quickly gets out of hand.

Wasn't me that's for sure ...but given the work that gun needs whomever bought it has set themselves up for a labor of love ,wood destroyed ,pitted barrels ,possible rib relay ,loose on face ,pitted receiver...Still ,like you said it is a C Bernard so congrats on whomever did win it !

I watched that gun all week and was going to bid last night, but the second bid shot it right past what I was willing to pay.

Looked at that one early last week. Seemed almost beyond redemption.

What a basket case.

I am wondering how I missed this listing on GB.

[Tom Hawkins]

It will be a lot of work, I hope its worth it when its finished. It should be a good project for Trinidad in the summer with Dennis Potter. It needed to be saved, so I hope it will not be a giant money pit. The guns that are put back give me satisfaction and become favorites to me.

[Dean Romig]

Have you been to the Trinidad gun school before Tom?

That will certainly be a worthy project. Please show us pictures when it's done.

The barrel condition is the big thing. If they are workable, that gun is a very good candidate for full restoration.

I have been there before and it was a great time. I fit and honed a set of barrels and forend. That gun needed wood as well. It was more of a basket case than this one. I met Mark Beasland and Dennis Potter is a great teacher.

A Bernard C is my dream gun. The only gun I'd rather have is a steel barreled C, or any B, A, AA or A-1 grade.....
