I help a local shop at gunshows and by listing stuff on gunbroker occasionally. If they ship something hard to find, rare, exceptionally pretty, etc. then it goes in a cheap $10 hard case and that gets packed in the box, etc.

The most interesting aspect of all of this was the way the three of us dealt with it: Cliff and Dave are a hoot, forthright with great perspectives...but we all knew that. Even though the deal was well made before the accident, I feel even better about it now.

Got a couple of oil coats on it today. I'm thinking it's gone back to Cliff friday. I worked on John's little .410 again today now that I'm on the downside of this one. You wanna see a challenge?

I've got an ole English double (Black powder) that I need to find or make a hammer for.
It got damaged by the usps. Although insured , they wanted the gun after pay-out and when asked what would become of the SxS I was informed it would be destroyed. Couldn't bring myself to let that happen. No money for the damage but I still have it. Nice work on the stock repair. I've got a stock and receiver for a Browning B-ss that needs a set of barrels and a fore end for cheap if any one is looking for a project. I've found a couple sets of barrels but they wanted more for the barrels than I've bought B-ss SxS's for. Bought off Gunbroker years ago.

You will most likely have to replace the pair. Finding one that matches the other....good luck with that.
What gauge is the BSS a 12 or a 20? Do you have the fore end iron? Are you interested in a Westly Richards? Last edited by targa911S; 10-05-2011 at 07:20 PM.. |

I'll have to look later , but from what I remember the receiver is not stamped with the bore , only the barrels are marked. No on the fore end iron , but I've found the fore end stock with iron before , not sure why I didn't buy.
I've got a 20 and a 12 ga Browning in factory fitted hard/travel cases. Find I don't use the 12 bore anymore , but can't bring myself to sell it. Maybe I will after I get sticker shock on replacement tires for my truck  . SxS

It shoots real nice too! Has a great trigger!
 The first four on the left are the first grouping at 25 yrds. The rest are after I zeroed it. Sweet shooter. Mind you this is not from a bench, just a single point rest and the peep sight |
