I hope you enjoyed the ride. |
Very, very nice!
|
Beautiful work! Congrats!
|
As always, very good work David!
|
I am so pleased you took on-board all my suggestions...wouldn't have turned out as nice if you didn't listen:D
I love the "reveal"! |
You are to spoons what slowdave is to guitars!
|
Nice work.
What would you hunt with this gun? (or is it a rifle?) |
that is very very nice!!
so, just askin...how much is a shotgun like that if i were to find one? thinking of a Christmas gift for the wife, of course |
Ok lots of answers...
Paul..thank you for your inspiration. Could not have done it without you. Neil: Thank you. Can't wait to see your Fox. I found a 16 Sterlingworth last week that I will send pics of to you. Sc-ruf: Birds squirrels rabbits, you name it. .410 shotguns are for beginners and experts. Vash: these Crescent Quail model .410 cal. are worth $800- $1200 depending on condition. IF you can find one. They are pretty rare. I have a nice Stevens .410 that needs wood. You are welcome to it, but I will not have it done until after Christmas . Look at CZ Bobwhite models if you want a nice .410 out of the box. Scott: High compliment...thanks! |
Wow!
You could easily convince someone that you replaced that stock.... Fine work sir. |
Wow....simply beautiful! Such a great piece to "keep in the family".....You really honored his memory!
|
Excellent restoration. That's a lovely little double. Just a suggestion, you should consider having some pro photos taken. I believe it would be worth it!

A healthy dose of irony: she's a vegetarian. Insert rabbit food/food chain/territorialism joke here. :D |
To my eye, that thing is stunning. In a way that a new stock could never achieve.

.410s are the deal. Unless I am hunting geese, that is all I shoot with. We Dove hunt every year and I prefer the challenge of the .410. The CZ's are great guns (I bought a 16 sxs from Dave) but I have also had good luck with Stroeger in .410. They make a really nice over and under. It will never be anything other than a pedestrian .410, but they look the business and shoot great. And, have I have said before, I hate worrying about bumps and dings on my field rifles and shotguns. Dave, well done as always. If you need any help with Neils Fox, my inestimable talents are a phone call away:D |
It's "only" a Crescent..........
But, it is undoubtedly the prettyest one around from many, many miles! I especially like the flow of the stock and pistol grip! Dave, you pulled much beauty out of that wood! Funny, I have never paid much attention to these shotguns in the past, but suspect that I will be on the prowl for one in the future. Thanks for keeping us in the loop as you worked thru this labor of love!
Ok, so what's next? |
I think I'll let you guide Neil for awhile on the Fox Paul, but thanks for your input.
|
I got this email las night from John. I hope he won't mind me sharing but it really says it all. I love my job.............
"Absolutely stunning, David!! I can't believe what you have done with this gun. And wow, didn't that stock turn out beautiful! I can't wait to see it in person. I showed my son these pics tonight, and he was in awe. You have successfully brought a gun, and a childhood full of memories back to life, that now can be passed to my next generation with pride! Thank you so much for everything!!"..... I mean ...wow. |
