Bought a nice Syracuse Arms grade 3 today. It was poorly restocked. I'd like to acquire a semi inletted stock for it in the proper grade of walnut. If anyone knows of a duplicator with a Syracuse pattern, I'd appreciate the referral.
The forend is very smoky, but the ebony tip is missing. I'll have to carve another, so if anyone has a picture of an early Syracuse double forend with ebony tip, I'd be grateful for the picture. Seriall number is 680X which I think is an early gun. Nice pattern to the barrels. Similar to Stars and Stripes. Doesn't have the selective ejectors.
28" ripple free barrels, no pitting, no dings or bulges.
RedHead pad, which I'll remove.
The forend is very sleek. Looks beautiful along the barrels.
Grouse opener tomorrow. Time to play with the toys.
