Revdocdrew, Thank you for recommending Craig. He did a fine job. If I was having a repair like this done again, I would go agead and have the checkering recut while it was in his hands. I weighed the gun a few minutes ago on a certified shipping scale and it weighs
5 pounds 6 ounces. It will make a great grouse gun, one that will be carried a lot more thsn shot.
