Bamboozler,

I am in the middle of the same project on a 16-ga sterlingworth. I have been doing all of the metal prep work on my own so it is taking a bit longer than I had hoped but I will get there soon and turn it over to the experts for the finishing work (new stock and engraving). I'd love to compare notes some time. As to the cost of these projects I think they are well worth it to have as near to a bespoke gun as possible without spending 25K. I am looking forward to the finished pictures. I am sure it will be spectacular.
