Thread: shotgun;a project,work in progress.

yes,i do not think the stock is original.the pistol grip does not fit with the time of manufacture,and the tang has been cut short to run down the grip.the top strap has no engraving either,this is at odds with the rest of the gun.both the trigger tang and top strap are broken so need to be welded and re-engraved along with some screw replacements.the butt stock i would like to keep,but renew the head with a mortice and tenon,to make an english style stock and hide the join amongst the checkering.the stock and forend are the expensive part.the hammers are non-rebounding,however i will add springs to convert them for safety reasons. it won't happen overnight but it will happen.
