Is it still destined for some goose blind or is it your dedicated sporting clays gun? It weighs 8 lbs, choked Mod and Full with 3" chambers and 30" barrels, so it well set up for both. I have shot a decent amount of SC with it so far and really liked it for that task. I used it for a faux driven pheasant shoot at a friend's club and but have not had a chance to chase any waterfowl with it. maybe next season?
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Very, very nicely done. I haven't hunted ducks in nearly 30 years, and never had conditions to do so that would be nice enough to use a gun as beautiful as that. There was always a Lab or Chessie trying to stand on, knock down or lift a leg on a gun, if you know what I mean. Boat rash happens to things inside a boat, too. Do enjoy. That stock is beautiful.
Best, Ted

That has come out well. A A Brown did (and still do) very fine work. The new work seems to match that quality well and do it justice, though I have to add that the forend is probably not to UK taste ;-) Well done and enjoy you long awaited project.

Thanks for the compliments.
Interesting thing about the fore-end. Gallyon's records indicate that two fore-ends were made - one a SBTFE that went missing at some point along the way. I suspect this one is a little "beefier" than the original, though.
