Bob---you have done a fabulous job of restoring this very interesting Superposed that had the mis-fortune of being stocked with salted walnut.
I have a question---is it really a superlight---don't superlights have English style stocks with 26" barrels. I don't mean to rain on your parade, just asking a question from a guy who owned 12 and 20 ga superlights from the pre salt era.
Cheers
Bill

Geo - Salt Gun pitted with wood replacement. Call it what you may but I call it a restoration. Type on
Dave Thanks. Some reason I thought it was a lower grade gun upgraded...Geo Before long it will be an original... All it needs is to get into the right hands.

I can't say how the gun trade uses the term, but, I hesitate to use the word "restoration", or "restore" to refer to any gun work that does not put everything back to original specs. As I see it, if everything is right except for one very minute detail that is changed, it's not a restoration. I'm not sure what a better term would be ........ maybe renovate, or refurbish.
Just me, YMMV.

The gun started out as a standard superpose. It has been "upgraded" to a pointer grade superlight. It looks to have been done to a high level.

I have no problem with what was done, and this one is superbly done. But I, personally, would not refer to it as a restoration. It is a well done upgrade, IMHO.

What would you call a 1966 Corvette Stingray redone with disc brakes, shocks, crate engine, etc.? It's called a "Resto-mod" and is the hottest thing on the car auction market these days.
edit: Dang Bruce.....beat me to it...darn-it. Day late and a $ short.

When you do something like this to your kitchen, you call it remodeling. But vocabulary games are sorta boring. Shooting it would be a whole bunch more interesting.
Nice gun, Bob, and done in what seems like an amazingly short time. It would be good to see some favorite game and gun photos with it this fall, if you get the chance.
