Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated.

100% agreement on the forend.

I think Bill gets a few gift guns to try his hand on. Never look a gift gun in the mouth...Geo

Yes Sir, I am sometimes blessed in that way. Not this time unfortunately. A little disappointed about this one.

Maybe at this years Southern, those of you who are attending can help me find a great deal on a solid gun. Daunting challenge due to little budget. A nice small English maker BLNE 12 bore would be awesome.

I�ll be volunteering Friday, stop by and say howdy.

A "small English maker BLNE" is not the way to avoid junkers, especially if you are price shopping.

Understood, I�m just drawn to them more than others. I don�t mind fixer-uppers, as long as where I am in acquires skills can deal with the issues. Old modest guns should be fixed and shot in my opinion, and others like me need modest price point guns.

Bill has the right idea. If you are building your skills junkers are perfect. If you are looking for a shooter that will give you zero amount of trouble buy something with low miles. You do not want to teach yourself on a high condition gun.

I would start by following Kutters advice and fit the metal up first. Soft solder and splice as he advised. Address the wood last. You can fix this issue just take your time.
