Darnation,
Here are the folowing two pages from the Caunier catalog...after that the rest of the shotguns are of the more conventional type.
Geo,
I'm trying to figure out how to post them so that anyone who wants to follow along... can
Right now the only way I can post them is to print each and every page...just so I can photograph each page, correct the gamma, and upload the photos to photobucket, so I can post the images here...I'm hoping someone will tell me how to post PDF files...I would rather not print 400 pages, but I will if I have to...
As for the stock blank...I found a lovely piece that was so red, that I cut the flich with a one piece Darne (mine) in mind. The cutting was laid out so that the grain would be exactly correct for a PoW Darne...I was worried back then that my first (and only) Darne re-stock job might crack upon firing...but that test is long past and I've final sanded and finished the gun...
I like the red look on a French or Belgian gun because it looks more original...The tree came from the Clarence Library when they built a new annex (8 yrs ago)...the Dutchman and I cut it into fliches and solar kiln dried them before we cut them into blanks (5 yrs ago)...
Larry Brown has yet to complete his end of the bargain though...but I assume he's a man of his word...
Beag will have to send me his address...
