just read the thread on the creation of a custom slug gun, made out of a classic fox sterlingworth shotgun...
is that the future now? dolling up classic affordable hunting guns into rich man's custom toys?
i hope not.
i mean, would it have not been a better idea to preserve the old fox and use the barrels from another fox gun, perhaps one salvaged from a botched rehardening job, (lots of those around); fit the salvaged set of barrels (fairly easy), to the good action and then go on from there to make the slug gun. that way, one would have a two barrel set. one made from a preseved gun and one made from salvaged parts of a gun whose action was destroyed by unskilled hands. as it is now, that old fox is now gone forever...too bad.
kinda like taken a '34 ford coupe an chopin and channelin it and puttin in a corvette motor...looks really cool, but it aint a 1934 ford coupe any more.
