    Fark Rushy that guy looked just like you. If your not into quality old english shotguns Rushy just shoot it the way it is, or park the Highlander on it overnight!

    Does that stock have a through bolt to attach it to the receiver ?
    Is it a box lock or side lock gun ?

    Bloody hell look at this. I go away for a few hours and Maca and Gibo are into me with the boot. Bastards it'll keep.

    a good point groundcontrol,a bolt through the stock will complicate things.the italalians were the first to make this practice widespread,although it is fairly universal now,especially with u/o,but english s/s are still made the traditional way.before attempting any bending you need to establish if the butt stock is held by a bolting system.ie remove the butt plate/pad and have a look. the guy in the video ,jack rowe, i think he is in his late eighties in this clip, is/was regarded as one of the great experts in all facets of english gunmaking.what he appears to be doing so casually has a tremendous depth of experience behind it.

    A lot of the English guns dont have a butt bolt. I can recall my father bending shotgun butts, an interesting process
