CB, Thanks for this series of posts. Few of us get to do this detailed a project ourselves, and it's a treat to see someone's. I just hope now we have a good hatch this spring and some birds to hunt this fall.

You and me both Bill. I'm going to need to bring down some ducks with this gun just as soon as possible! LOL
I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Mammoth is definitely cooler (the implied pun is bad though).

The barrels are really sweet. Whole thing is coming along nicely.
With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

I think it is fair to say that when Claudio is restoring a gun like this Lindner Daly his objective is not to make it like new, but to make it as perfect as a 115 year old gun can and should be. In his words..."Like no one has been there". The objective is not to fool anyone that a restoration has taken place but to do the original craftsmen who built the gun justice. To make the gun today what it should be after 115 years of fine and careful use and care. We all know that is not what happens to most guns, even the fine ones, so the restorer's job is to make up for those missing years of careful care. Claudio decided not to re-cut the chequering. However, they did have many decades of built up crud. So he created a tool of his design specifically to help him carefully clean the chequering while absolutely minimizing new cutting. Here he is working on the cheek pieces....30 LPI And here it is, finished: He's completed and re-assembled the forend now, including cleaning the chequering. I think we are very close to the finish line.

Thanks for the ride cback. Really nice gun, great work and pictures that did the project a service. It doesn't have to be a big pile, hope the gun gets in a picture with a pair of big northern ducks.
