While we are on the subject, I am pondering a side by side clays gun. Looking for a 30" Model 21. Also looking to re-stock it in a nice piece of English walnut to match my P gun. Any ideas on east coast for a stocker who is resonably fast and not overpriced?

His prices aren't outrageous either. Here are some examples: He restocked this incredible Purdey Pigeon Gun. It can be yours for $29,000 (from Gamefair in Nashville TN) He also restocked this Boss O/U. And here is a Superposed that he customized.... this one's also for sale... but he has priced it yet. Adam

Worthy of your consideration: A custom gun from Mark De Haan: SxS gun with a case-color receiver, 32" barrels, screw chokes, palm swell, adjustable comb, grade III wood stocked to your dimensions, shipped for around $2100. Of course, you can add more goodies (higher grade wood, engraving, tear drops, beaver tail forend, etc.) for an extra cost. www.dhshotguns.com click on SGr Deluxe on the left.

Adam, in your post with photos, I think you forgot to include the one of the Boss OU. I go straight from Purdey to Superposed.

RE: The above pic of the Superposed butt with heel & toe plates---what's up with that screw between the plates? I've never seen that before.

That is a stock bolt gun and I assume the screw holds the checkered wood plug in place. When you need to remove the stock you would remove the screw and then the plug. Then the nut on the stock bolt and then the stock.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.
