this came home last night

Start of a new "custom" project. 30" 20ga sterly. Shootable #'s now. It's been opened to .007 and .015,chambers cut to 2 3/4, but I'll be shooting LP reloads out of it.
The plan is to it refinish the stock for this fall and get a restock going, using the pattern stock from my AE. Restock then figure out what I want for engraving...







This is the blank thats it's going in

Nice! I wish a 30 inch 20 would follow me home. Have fun with that.

It is a beauty and great looking blank1 I am checkering the stock and forend that i made from scratch to go on the 30" sterly that i won on gunbroker several months ago. It weighs the same as yours. Bobby

[thuddddddd]

Bobby, you have pictures?


I wish I had the skill to do the work myself..... I have to rely on much more talented friends to make my project possible

[zoelib]

Cool. Is that a blank of genuine French walnut?

The blank is French walnut.

I got to shoot it sat at the fox/parker debacle...... my shooting let the team down Having said that, I started out shooting a wonderful little BE of tool's, in 12 ga. When I shouldered it I knew it didn't have nearly enough cast for my fat face...... The first few stations were embarrassing, so I figured what the heck, can't do any worse with a small bore with 3/4 0z lp hand loads..... I was pleasantly surprised...... I shoot it reasonable well.... getting more and more comfortable with it, culminating in a incredible 50+ yard shot at the final station, that I was able to repeat..... guns choked .005/.015........ I think I'm going to be really happy with it.....

Save that old stock for when you sell the gun to me. It fits me like it was made for me - what a nice 20!

[thuddddddd]

for sure

i am through with checkering the stock and now trying to decide the pattern i want to put on the splinter forearm.I will try to get someone to post some pictures when i complete the job.The barrels need rebluing,i cut long forcing cones a couple weeks ago.The wood i used was locally grown American walnut with some fiddleback figure,not real fancy wood like your blank.Bobby

[thuddddddd]

Sounds nice. Can't wait for you to get some pictures up.

[Stan Hillis]

Take a long nap, thudddddddd. Bobby don't do pictures. He claims he can't do it, but I'm claiming that anyone what can stock and checker like him can larn to post pictures!

thudddddddddd I am going to dub that little twenty "The Little Bo Whoop" I saw first hand how far that gun can reach out and smack those targets on Sat up at Addieville. Those who would doubt that twenty bore could crush a target at 55 yards are sadly mistaken. What a gun!!!! Paul

[thuddddddd]

thanks and congratulations to you and your brother for carrying the team as far as you did....... Steve sucks .... I won't be relying on him any time soon, for #'s me, I'm back on the "taking lessons" wagon



BTW, those were some sweet guns you have...... I need a drool emoticon

What did Thudddd do that a 55 yard shot? Forget to take the safey off?
