Hey Buzz,
For you to characterize questioning your authority to speak for the entire Browning Collectors Community as becoming "unglued",
then perhaps you should take a little of your own advice, "toughen up man".
For you to insinuate that my intentions are to fradulently try to pass off my upgrade as anything other than what it is is unfounded and a little insulting.
BTW Buzz,
Reread my original post. I solicited comment on wood blanks.
I'm really not interested in your pseudo expert opinion on restorations or upgrades.

Nothing wrong with having 10 grand in a 5 grand gun.

My mistake Bob, I was thinking this thread was the Think it might be..... thread where you played your little game with us until Eightbore ding ding and dinged showing you were going to turn a POS short tang round knob salt gun you bought for a song into a magnificent Pointer grade upgrade. In terms of the wood which you solicited opinion, most look like fancy kindling imho. Sorry about my mistake.
Socialism is almost the worst.

"sounds expensive"...
thats what the cardinal in charge of the papel hord said, when the pope told him he was hiring signore da vinci to repaint and embellish the ceiling in the sistine chapel...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

I love the plan. This is going to be truly a labor of love. Saving a nice Belgium Superposed from the trash dump.
Can't wait to see the finished project and hope you keep us posted as it progresses.

While not an "original" collector gun, I guarantee that the finished gun with premium wood, engraved by Angelo Bee will have the beady eyed boys all over it at any gun show.
Enjoy your project.

Ive restored 2 Saltwood guns with Art in the past 5 years.
A 28 gauge Pigeon and a 20 Gauge Diana. This will be the 3rd.
Speaking from real world experience, the naysayers and poo pooers have no idea of actual value or desirability.
Theyre just spewing their negative crap, taking liberties by speaking for entire populations
and making assertions that cant be backed by fact.
Its one thing to bang on a keyboard and and go on and on about what you think you know, blah, blah, blah.
Its another to actually put your money where your mouth is, make the investment of time and resources and do the deed.
This project gun is going to be a keeper, however I have no doubts that if ever sold, (with full disclosure)
this soon to be Pointer Superlight will be a highly sought after money maker.
