[cbashooter]

One of a few a buddy made up on old 12ga shotguns.Shot today at 50 yards with the 311041 and 16g of 2400.regulated pretty darn good I'd say! Right on point of aim and sights centered.

The scoped one in the picture I haven't shot yet is in 32-40

He is a very good smith, doubles are at the top of the heap IMHO :awesome:

I identifed the doner shotgun..it's a syracuse arms from about 1905.I need a tang safety if anybody has a spare <g>

I should be shooting the 32-40 double this week.

[Wayne Smith]

Humm, how much does he charge? I have an Esle double 12 full and full 32" goose gun for which I have no use. Does he need the whole gun or just the barrels to do one?

[cbashooter]

The guy that did them doesn't do the work anymore. I bought these out of an estate. I had my name on them for 10 years. I was cut quite surprised when I got the call that they were available


John Taylor in Puyallup Washington does this kind of work. He would be who I would approach

These rifles look like the Bakai that Remington once sold from Russia. Mine is in 30/06 and shoots to point of aim after I had a local stock maker reduce the comb(couldn't even see sights prior to this) on the stock and regulated the barrels.
