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

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

Cool. Is that a blank of genuine 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!

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

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

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