Lol ok here we go. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. The rest of the gun is complete there are no missing parts. Ive got through the gun completely and reassembled it.I've done a lot of research over the last several days looking about how to go about this. Both the stock came in and I ordered the wood for a forearm of a 1900 ejector model I know that it's not the exact right wood for the model of gun but it's decently close. I'm a good machinist I'm newer to the field I'm only 24 but I'm sure I can make the metal for the receiver. Yes if I had one to copy I could make it exactly how and like Remington's original but even if I don't I can make up something that will work and still look good even if it's not original and if I can find the original I can flip it over any time. My goal for this gun is to turn it into a working shot gun as some of you have said right now it's only really good for parts. Hopefully the solder flux and degreaser comes in this week and I get the rib and barrel cleaned up and sobered up then I will know that I can finish it.

Oh and the barrels have a little pitting in one barrel but nothing that would hinder the gun if I decide to run a hone a couple times down it they should clean up nicely.

forgot to tell you something. the book "building double rifles on shotgun actions" by w. ellis brown shows how he builds a forearm metal from scratch. the book shows how he does a lot of double stuff that may not be kosher or "right" when guys are working on fine doubles, but for what you are doing it is a great reference piece.

you telling us that you are 24 totally changes things for me. hell, go ahead and do it! it will be fun and you will learn a lot. i seriously doubt you will ever finish it, but that is ok. i bet every gunmaker on the board has projects they started over 20 years ago that sit in dusty corners of the shop. i keep track of things by presidential terms. i have knives i started when george h.w. bush was president, and guns started during clinton's second term.

if you do finish it, the gun will be "seriously rigged together" in most double nuts minds, but the lack of other's idea of its quality is ok, because again, you learn and have fun. at 24 there is no way you know how to drive all of the manual machinery and tooling required, and then there is the fact of having it all there and available to you, when you need it. but remember -if you have the right mind about it and a good dose of the fire in your belly, it will be fun and a great way to learn.

HOWEVER...you have an ace in your pocket. if you TRULY want to learn and are not just playing grabass for one gun project in your life, then you can reach out to gunmakers who will help you. you can email me directly and you can ask questions on this and other boards.

go for it! love to see young guys who want to work on guns in general, and doubles in particular.

btw - where do you live?

I got the new stock and spent the morning filling and sanding it to fit still has a little to go but it looks way better. I think someone asked where I got them http://www.gunstocksinc.com/ they are just roughed out so it takes a bit of finish work I recommend a heavy cabinet makers file or a rasp to get it close and the sand it.

Hat's off to you. Hope you're not running heavy loads through it. Since you don't think she's much to looks at, maybe figure out stock measurements to fit you better, and modify the stock for a follow up.
