If, If , If is not a great way to start out on a project gun. As a rule I try to limit my project guns to one If. If the barrels are good then yes you can fix the rest but you will have to do it yourself, or else you will end up with a gun worth half as much as you have invested in it, if you are lucky.
If the barrels are bad you just bought a wall hanger or expensive set of carrier barrels for a pair of Briley tubes. I have nothing against tube sets but barrel heavy doubles are not that much fun to shoot or carry.
Then you need to deal with the stock. Restocking it will cost 3-4 grand unless you do it yourself. Putting an extension or two and a half inch recoil pad and spaces could be done but it looks like crap to me.
Linder made Charles Daly's are fairly rare. But they were in fact guns bought in the trade, in the white or as semi rough actions and finished up. I do not know if the gun started out as Sauer or some other makers action but Linder did not make his own actions from a block of steel. In many ways he is a lot like Becker finishing up Fox guns for a customer. High quality work, on a basic gun, made in part by others.
