Thats a L of a fuck up!
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!
Boom, cough,cough,cough
its a bonehill box lock , not an expensive gun but must say very nice piece of wood !through bolt i would say it would have to -dont they all have one? off to the smith to make good the butt pad on Wednesday
Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question
The one I just pulled to bits doesnt have a bolt and I cant recall a bolt on the one I had before that either.
VIVA LA HOWA
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.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

ill have a look at the smiths on Wednesday - i thought they all had a long shaft into the action through the stock but im but a novice
Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question
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
