Re: Early "A" Grade restoration
I put a few pictures up under Early A Grade 12 Ga., 30" Barrel. Not sure if I did it right, but you can get a pretty good idea of the condition of the gun. It looks like the metal had a little rust in a few small spots years ago and was refinished once at least. The repair in the stock looks de...

Re: Early "A" Grade restoration
Well, I sent the gun in to Turnbull. They talked me out of restoring her. I knew the stock needed replacing because there's a repaired area that would probably break off with repeated firing, but they said their total cost was $8,500.00! This gun is not worth that to me. I would like to get a second...

Decided to go for it!
Well, I decided to go ahead and get the "ol' girl" restored. I saw photos of a resored gun that looked great, talked to my dad about it and he said that he would like to see what it looked like new and that he felt that his dad would be happy to hear what I was doing with it, so it's in pr...

Thanks!
Thanks for all the input! It's really cool owning a shotgun, a well made one, that's almost 100 years old. This was my grandfathers, not sure if he bought it new or acquired it some other way. My father decided to give the gun to me although I was not that close with his dad. I have a field gun and ...

Early "A" Grade restoration
Hello. I was handed down an early "A" Grade that belonged to my grandfather. It is a Philadelphia gun with Krupp Steel, a 30" barrel, serial number 12799. I've learned that it was built somewhere between 1906 & 1913 but I would like to pin it down a little closer. Does anyone know...
