The author kind of lost me in the first sentence when he tells us that he had sent this rare and collectible gun to Briley to have choke tubes installed.

looks like a sauer type scalloped box lock receiver...
too bad about the tubing job...sometimes, old guns like this with after market tube jobs will no longer shoot to point of aim...better to have left it as made.

I note that in the bottom view all three of the screw slots are
misaligned. Also is it just me or do the two larger of those "Unmolested" screws appear to have buggered slots. Briley would have had no need to remove those to tube the chokes, must have been whomever bent the stock.

I'd be way more worried about the double that Drew posted the picture of that said "Sleeved by Ed Landers" shooting to point of aim than anything that came out of Brileys. Too bad Ed got his hands (and, his torch) on so many fine old doubles out there, 'eh Ed? Best, Ted

Brileys has a pretty good reputation, Ed. I know of a few mistakes they have made, and on both occasions, they ate the cost of fixing the gun to the customers satisfaction. Not so much, you, and Ed Landers, Ed. Has anyone ever asked you to fix the burn marks put into guns over they years that you sell? Did you do it? Best, Ted

This idiot buggers up the screws puts choke tubes in it and then said he doesn't even want this gun, saying, "Someday I am going to get a job and buy me a new gun. Something with a shiny black stock instead of this old knotty wood."

"Someday I am going to get a job and buy me a new gun. Something with a shiny black stock instead of this old knotty wood." While in total agreement it is indeed a travesty that he has fouled up so rare a gun in all honesty I think this part was meant as a bit of humor. I do wish he would have showed pictures of the bolting. Would like to see how it compares with the Flues Model Ithaca. The Ithaca has a single underbolt plus a top bolt which is not hidden but engages the rib extension.
