Change it from a double to a single trigger. Everything else I could think of has been covered.

I have one gun that had all of this done, yes I am in the process of restoring it.
Greener Pigeon grade 12ga
Received it with: 1 Hot blued Damascus Barrels (yes ribs loose) 2. Beavertail forend 3. Adjustable comb, yes original stock cut for this "feature" 4. A Morgan adjustable black rubber with aluminum recoil pad.
I don't think there was much more you could have done to try and ruin this gun....

Drill holes to repair a crack! Yuk! I can do a lot of fixing and make it look original with wood grain, but holes have no place in fine grained stocks.

Peen a hook or bend an action to put it back on face. Agree with most of the previous posters pet peeves. Oh, also.....trying to recut checkering by someone with the skill level of a chimpanzee. Trying to make the bores nice and shiny honing them well past safe limits.

Peen a hook or bend an action to put it back on face.I am very glad you said that - because this is being encouraged - see this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXbrmmiSngwNow I'm no expert, but I have spent a little time around some experts - and this is NOT how they would do it - and nor is the squeezing referred to in the video. I don't know what to add really, because whilst I am all in favour of sharing knowledge, its so easy for the wrong things to get shared. Sorry this is 'off topic'.

1 cut the barrels 2 cut the barrels 3 cut the barrels 4 cut the barrels and oh yeah 5 cut the barrels
almost everything can be made right - sometimes (but not always) but as long as they are done right- choke and chamber modification make them more shootable - true collectable guns should be left alone

A very old fashioned and out dated method that should not be used on anything other than an old knacker and even then only if there is no other alterative . These techniques are long past there sell by date and to publish them as the norm is wrong if not irresponsible and can lead to enthusiastic amateurs damaging there guns believing that this is the way it should be done.

JohnfromUK, I don't think this is the "peening"of the hook, Joe was talking about. This was only tightening, not putting it back "on face".He specifically said he wouldn't work on the "hook" to tighten.I'm sure what Joe was talking about is the often seen punchmarks on the hook(the front lug)in a misguided attempt to set it back.This poor method is very obvious,even to the untrained eye.What the English trained gunsmith did in the video is not obvious and I suspect a lot of us proudly showoff guns that have had the samething done, without knowing it.

Those u tube moments of visual agony with those two using a two pound hammer only proves the fact that you can not make a whole wit out of two half wits. We are surly past the stage of bashing the lumps of a gun barrel with a big hammer and passing the idea to people who would possibly not know any better. Just wonder what those two people who should know better where thinking of!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

1. Poorly installed or ill-fitting pads. Especially on small gauge guns.
2. Butchered up screws.
3. Neglect and or pitting.
4. Crudely carved initials.
5. "Enhancements," swivels, etc.
