I'm in the middle of a project gun. Some of you may remember a post a couple of years ago about a Rigby 16 gauge sidelock w/sidelever that I bought at a very low price. The gun had been sleeved and a stock extension added, but never completed finished. I'm about half way through the restoration now. The gun has been put back on face and the sear on the left lock fixed and I had Briley put in some thin wall chokes. So I've spent about $1200 so far and when I have some more excess money, I will have the stock extension finished and the stock cleaned up and the barrels re-blacked. When done it should look pretty good and it already shoots well.
I doubt I'll get the money I spend on back, but I don't expect to ever sell the gun. I never thought I would be able to afford a Rigby shotgun with the rising bite action, much less one with a sidelever.
