1 Add sling fittings.
2 Colour Varnish the wood.
3 Fit a centre sight.
4 Blue Damascus Barrels.
5 Tamper with the barrels fixed choking.
6 Turning a good looking gun for its age into an over coloured Mutton dressed as Lamb thing instead of letting it grow old gracefully!!!!
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

Define "fine double gun". I may have done three of them, but probably only two. I may be due some bonus points because I have had choke tubes installed in more than one. And I may do it again.

Interesting comments! Let's say a Vintage gun. Best guns of Brit, Continental and American make. Thanks again! Greg

Allowing someone, who does not have the ability or knowledge, to "repair" a double gun.
