Mike Jas got on gluc/chond blend and fish oil back in late Jan. Good part is the regular vet is optimistic this specialist can treat is effectively. Jas is too good a friend, hunter, and housemate to let it go.

LeFusil: No doubt you can buy a decent BSS for $2,500 to $3,500.
I have never done a "project gun" and I know many on this site have. Not doubting your numbers, but how the heck can you do a project on a Coggie, or any gun for that matter for $2,500 to $3,500? Just trying to get smarter. Did you do most of the work, including the stock, yourself?

Just picked up my RBL from the FFL yesterday only 17 months after sending a check for $4200+ (every option including assisted opening). Beautiful 7x turkish wood, great wood/metal fit,perfect checkering. Straight grip and double triggers with case colors make an elegant look. The case colored receiver tends towards the monotone..a little subtle for me. Innovative choke wrench works now, we'll see how it functions after the gun has been shot. Ordering Assisted opening was probably a mistake..easy opening means hard closing. I removed it and the balance of effort seems much better. Overall worth the wait..now that it's over. I won't get to shoot it until the weekend of April 7th due to work scheduling problems.

Gentlemen, no matter how you feel about the wait, this is the only way to buy a shotgun. The RBL is fitted to your build to your shooting style to your personal liking. I regret not ordering one as I purchased a G/L just before and with its 14" 1/4 inch length of pull it neither fits me nor does it feel right when coming up. Enjoy your wait because its that much more satisfying when it finally arrives!!! All the best

I doubt if I could, H. I could refrain from getting up at 4AM to engage in humour which misses the mark and I probably will. Someone has to make the donuts or deliver the milk. We forget our debt to those early risers too.

Chuck, Who is the guy in CA? Is he in LA? I drove my golden from Iowa to LA to see a vet about a bad knee. Turned out, thanks to the vet that the knee was fine and the ankle was simply sprained. Recovery from what the local vet school wanted to do to him would never have been 100%.
I'd trust that LA vet with my life. He's expensive and worth every penny, plus the 3600 miles of driving and 5 days off of my life on that trip. His name was Rooks.
LeFusil, Maybe I should sell my model 8. While I generally prefer straight grain to marble cake, I also much prefer used english guns to new german guns, and the english cost about the same. The 8 also lacks hammers (a major flaw in my books). But I continue to hang on to it for some reason.

Chicago, I bought the Coggie cheap off of gunbroker.com. The wood was bad, but the metal, action, mechanics, etc. were good to excellent, and to top it all off, the gun had new barrels fitted to it in England. Just lucky I guess, the gun itself had a low reserve, the guy just wanted to get rid of it. I bought a very nice peice of English walnut from Cecil Fredi, I found a stockmaker who came highly recommendend and was very reasonable, Mr. Ken Hurst re-cut the engraving, and Classic Guns Inc. applied the final finishes to the metal. The final cost of the project was $2800. If you can use the boards topic search feature, do a search for Cogswell & Harrison, reb87 posted pics of the gun a few weeks ago.

You got a problem with me Hansli how about stating it in the clear. I'm tired of your mouth.

You got a problem with me Hansli how about stating it in the clear. I'm tired of your mouth. No problem whatsoever, I enjoy your posts almost without exception. If I want to make a joke or two maybe you need to laugh and not react so. You are not the only one entitled to make sardonic comments here and to assume the position of bar room lout after being the witty poet for so long is a rather shocking departure from your usual. I pound nails all day, so a trip to the street doesn't bother me either. So think about it why dontcha and cool your jets.
