William Ford? I handled a pair of Henry Ford II's Purdeys which had been mangled by some butcher, presumably in Detroit. He attempted to change the cast from "On" to "Off" (Henry was a lefty) When he finished, the locks wouldn't fire, safety didn't work, and the only way the guns would ever be right was to restock them. Incidently, At H&H, if they are going to put cast on a gun, they don't bend the stock, they bend the top and bottom tangs and the sidelocks, then the stock is straight to the mechanicals. Assume the same at Purdey.
