An excellent double gun craftsman sent me some photos of a project he has been working on. “Grave robbing” was his term, and perhaps it fit the task, but, it seems to me his project started with pretty good bones: ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/yFTY8f1W/IMG-0955.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/pFtp5qQ/IMG-0954.jpg) I’ll post some completely done pictures in a bit. Best, Ted

Very nice. I take it that the plain action sides and the absence of pins means it has drop locks?

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

I’m hoping James will chime in, as I don’t have the answer to either question. I just found the before/after pictures striking, to say the least.
Best,
Ted

Beautiful work that stands up to very close scrutiny. There are craftsmen and there are artisans in the world of gunwork, James is in the latter category. Amazing what $7,000 can do in the right hands, lol.
