PAC gun restocked

Post by JakeFlyFish »

Finally! I finished the restock on the Philadelphia Arms Company gun. I was lucky enough to have the original grip cap and buttplate and screws. Here are some before and after photos. Jerry

Thanks much for the kind words. I love the old unusual stuff. The guns are pretty darn neat no matter how you slice it! Jerry

Good job!. Glad to see another one saved. I have #1738 that I thought was in bad shape until I saw your before picture and mine is looking much better.I'm leaning towards some mechanical repairs only and leaving the character wear/scars as is. Maybe I will post some pictures and start a post for comments. Andrew has already given me some good ideas.

Thanks for the kind words, it's truly appreciated. I really enjoy stockwork I must say. I find it actually relaxing. Most days. Jerry
