CJ, so I was incorrect in my assumption. However, at my very limited skill level, I would rather not get into the refitting of metal to wood. Three of my crossover guns are way too high for me and I have decided that the easiest and cheapest solution is to lose about forty pounds.

Cheapest, probably, easiest, not for me....

Well it has been a while since this thread was near the top. I had hoped to finish it off with a nice picture or two of Claudio and I with some big greenheads or canvasbacks from a fall 2020 hunting excursion. I thought that would be a fitting end to the story. However, while we had a trip planned to the Lake St Clair area in late November, Covid concerns caused us both to decide against the shoot. We both have pre existing conditions we would rather not test. So the pics of the gun afield will have to wait.

However, much like movies these days, I will leave an Easter Egg here. Coming in 2021..... I have acquired another Lindner Daly Diamond Quality.

This new one is one of the ultra rare 20 gauge guns. And like most of what I buy, it will need a little of Claudio's magic. So I will be either starting a new thread or resurrecting this thread sometime in 2021 when we get started on it.

And as luck would have it, what the new 20 gauge gun requires in the way of attention is entirely different than what the 12 gauge needed. The 12 gauge main problems were the barrel dents and the ejectors. This gun has a wood problem. Should be a fun ride.

Stay tuned!

A 20 Gauge Linder Daly Diamond grade? Wow! Congrats CB! That is a really nice find and more than likely, deserving of Claudio's work.

Well, it's been a long journey.

The snowbirds I bought the new Daly from departed for warmer climes just as we were completing our deal last November. And I didn't want a rush packing job done by people who had never shipped a gun in their almost 80 years. So we agreed to wait until their return at the start of April and in the meantime I sent them a heavy duty aluminum full length travel case (bought for taking rifles to Africa).

The case held the Daly and two Francotte 28 gauge guns just fine and they arrived today. Our respective governments don't make things easy. Diamond Quality Model 275 circa 1906. 20 gauge. 26" barrels. 5 pounds 9 oz. Looking forward to bringing it to life like the 12 gauge. Here's a couple quick snaps of the Daly.
