Dads old side be side. The intention was to get it sorted for our sons 30th. The stock was cracked through the grip and the barrels needed sweating together. No one was interested. Mid-Canterbury legend ( prick ) laughed over the phone . “It’s not a Purdy “.
It was worth nothing, but everything to me.
I bought a blank off TM.
Found a guy with a replicator in Hikatia. Once the wood was done I took it to Nelson Collie who very graciously sorted the metal, sweated the barrels together and blued them.
He even did a light upland load for it.
My boy just turned 35, so hope it’s worth the wait ….
