I got a 20 ga Ideal for little money because the stock had been broken during attempts to disassemble the gun. The opening/cocking lever was also bent because they tried to remove the triggerplate without depressing the lever.

The owner had even taken the gun to a "gunsmith" who gave up and told him to hang it on a wall.

I straightened the lever, glued up the stock and had it duplicated. It's now back in action. Very light with a straight stock and cyl/mod chokes.
