Re: custom engraving questions

I have the card. The card's tough to read, but I can see it's half-pistol, which is what it is now. It's a very nice stock that's on it now. I'm pretty sure nicer than the standard wood an HE would have based on pics on the internet. I'm not sure about the dimensions matching. The serial # is 28262....

custom engraving questions

I have an HE that's already had the stocked replaced with a nicer wood. I'm considering having engraving done to take it to XE level or beyond. I'm assuming this would increase the value of the gun, but it won't be worth what I put into it. Like restoring an old car. Do you agree? What's a ball park...

Thanks, Silvers. The gun wasn't dunked, in the past we had problems with guns that were in a misty rain rusting up. That hasn't happened this time as the gun was heavily treated and thoroughly cleaned on the surface. I was hoping the insides would be ok. Galazan had a 16ga 32" on it's site, but...

gunsmiths in Eastern, PA

Hi, new member here, you people have me chasing my next Fox(16 ga, 32"), but in the mean time, I had my HE out in NJ and was looking for a good gunsmith to break the gun down and give it a thorough cleaning(internally). Any help would be greatly appreciated..........Thanks, Joe
