Have you tried to install the forearm on the gun?

Maybe one of our Nash historians can tell us whether Henry and Doc actually did any serious waterfowling after 1948, the date on the bottom of the 3" Lubaloy case. This is to solve the riddle about why the shells stayed in Henry's garage for decades without being used. Did those two great frien...

Jeff may be the only poster who can figure out how to see your pictures. Help, what buttons should we push?

Ken, once you find an ejector forend you may find that it works without gunsmithing. First, find a forend.

I have never parked on the road. The gatekeeper is your friend.

The gate keeper is in charge. Ask him nicely and you can go anywhere you want.

That would be "the end of May". That is soon enough to keep me happy. I am hoping for very little of the "I shot a pheasant" type of article. I think Mr. Cote would weed out such articles.

Buy a tired 30" gun to ruin with screw chokes, and keep the 32" gun original and maybe just aggressively clean out the pitted bores. I have had more than one gun with "pitted" bores that turned out to not be pitted after some aggressive cleaning.

I agree with Stan, after reconsidering. Acetone is your friend. It will strip everything off and make the wood ready for new finish.

I would work in some kind of oil like Timberlux or Tru Oil after a nice light cleaning of the old finish but only with fine steel wool, no sandpaper. A professional wood or metal refinish will exceed the improved retail value of the gun.

Our "Tom" has the gift of words very much like our late departed Tom Gibbons. "Not a screw turned".

I thought there would be more interest in the original bores of these guns that few people know anything about.

Tom, I had an E Grade 141, sold it. It seems to be the only one they ever made. It was an Ennis gun.

The B is a sweetheart. I wouldn't touch it except to shoot it.

If you have chamber inserts, use them. You won't blow up those barrels after all the abuse they have suffered. However, I'm not sure that recheckering the stock is going to get you the result you are looking for. Address the metal work and then decide how far you want to go with the wood. We haven't...
