Dropped in the marsh, Brian?
No, it came from a friend in BC. He thought I might like to play around with it. He didn't know why or how long it had been buried. Whether it was buried on purpose or if it was accidently left somewhere, who knows. It was in the elements long enough to rot the wood away. After a bit of cleaning I am surprised that the bores aren't worse. In fact if a guy had a hone, the shotgun barrels would completely clean up with little effort. No deep pitting, just some of that fine sandy appearance. There is still useful parts in the action if someone was in need of parts. Maybe if I get energetic I will carve a stock out of a 2x6 just to make it look more complete and hang it on the wall. Wish the forend iron was with it.
