Mike, you make a good point. I think what you did with your gun was the right thing to do. That's not the way I choose to go...Geo

Uhm, Birdbath Revisited eh wot! Very impressive pile and good to know no one's sweating where the next scuttle of coal will come from. Ya know, I looked at the shiny anodized aluminum stickin out of the muzzles of that cracked taffy barrel and I agree with you Geo.; wouldn't be quite in keeping with the old thing and her place down the line from the Great Wastrel.

Would there be a way to patch the holes? Maybe weld in a plate and file it flush. Then put it some Briley tubes?
Adam I had an old truck once boy she looked good but was just full of Bondo.... I vote get Briley tubes and Bondo the holes a little tiche up paint and let her rip.

George, just think of how much money that $750 saved you. That gun was a bargain. Now you can "invest" your money in the Boston Whaler and watch it grow.  Gil Another idea make a boat anchor out of it.... Just ask yer self who else has a Boston Whaler with a 'Boss for an anchor ? And if you fish in salt water it shouldn't take too long to rust this 'thing of a gun out of your mind.

Nothing wrong with a "hanger" mounted on a floorlamp "rack". The only dilemma; 29" or 30" barrels and # 6 or # 7 shot to weigh it down.......
Larry?
All the best, ;>)

George
All right, all is not lost, so it is a wall ornament. Museums are full of them.
Patch the the offending void with a Damascus Dutchman, not sure of the metalworkers nomenclature, open a bottle of your favourite libation and enjoy your Boss wall art. Cheers.
Good Shooting

Keep your eyes open for a set of period, damascus 16 gauge barrels. Sleeve them onto the lump, and then contact Briley about 28 gauge subsets.
Then, let her rip. Wall hanger my ass. I bet jOe has a booger collection on the wall in his living room, right next to the velvet Elvis, and the 1/43 scale Chinese polystyrene reproduction of the 1953 Chevy 1/2 ton truck, still full of wild turkey.
His Purdey sleever used to rest on the velvet Elvis-just ask him.
Best,
Ted
