Oui! But what a pretty butt stock it is, mon ami. Steve I'll post a better picture tomorrow. Oh hell, here it is today...  Sorta crappy picture but that's what you get for impatience. It's not even my favorite French gun, that one is currently with the gunsmith being put back on face (I was getting tired of making beer can shims for it), I'll post a picture of it when I get it back.

Yeti...you shouldn't show Lowell things like that. You know those Damascus barrels scare him and pin fire to boot. He won't sleep tonight.

I doubt LG will lose a wink over this poor cousin...but I'll keep my guns from the Axis Powers off his thread.

Hey Steve!
What method is the 'Smith going to use to put it back on the face?
Just curious.

Ted

He's going to pin-punch the barrel hook... JUST JOKING  ! He's going to use the British method of dovetailing a piece of metal and recutting/filing the hook. Steve

StormsGSP, it's a 12g that I built just over a year ago. The barrels were salvaged from a JABC and were 32" long. They now measure 30 15/16" including the breech plugs. The stock has a 14 1/2" LOP (to the front trigger), 1 3/16 drop at comb and 2 3/8" drop at heel. I'm building another one now which will have the same LOP but I will add another 1/8" at comb and 3/16 at the heel. This one stocked in english, the new one likely in black. The new one will be 14g, unless I can figure out how to fix a small patch of pitting on a set of 36" 16's that I have (a real heartbreaker). I expect this new one to be much improved over this one. Thanks for the kind words
Cody
