To answer a few questions; personally I would love to see this action rebated if not scalloped and also have the opportunity to stock it. However, This gun was previously stocked some years back with a nice stick of wood. Thus, rebates and or scallops where out of the question as this gun already sports a custom stock. In a perfect world the metal work would be done first but it will come together nicely in the end.
The Sterlingworth was filed off as was the original engraving it was not very deep.
The top lever is to the left of center in the photos because there are absolutely no internal parts in the gun at the time the photos where taken. Thus, the top lever is not connected to anything. However as part of this job we preformed a full rejoin refitting hook to hingepin, barrel breech to breech face (back on face), and rotary bolt to rib extension. When fully assembled with barrels in place the top lever is well to the right.
Thanks again for all the kind feedback.
