Island lock Purdey, very nice. Looks like it needs a "re-birthing" more than re-finish, it'll be something else when its completed.

With a gun like that, if you were going to have a new stock made for it, would you consider Teague inserts for the barrels?

I think those "lines in the action" that you were refering to are forging lines. Most all shotguns of that vintage will show those forging lines, I rather like them to be honest ;-)

Great choice for a hand me down project!
