The guys that made Bar wood action fits had to be incredible. I only have one Westley Richards > There is no telling what the man hours it took to make it . Cost some dollars today to replicate.

Probably not as long as you think....a gunsmith friend once told me how long it takes to do something doesnt matter as much as how good the end result is.

Things may be different on your side of the pond to find a stocker capable of tackling a Bar in Wood restock lets say on a Purdey, and making a superb job of things on this side of the pond would be a rare person indeed. And if you have to ask how long or how much you definitely could not afford it. I have seen some disastrous attempts to restock Bar in Wood guns, some so bad they would take too long to describe and would make a fine gun lover cry.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

They could do it over a century and a half ago.

My W&C Scott pinfire is a bar in wood. Don't have a picture of it to post. Now that I've learned how to post them, maybe I'll try to take some soon.

Monty, that one is in the 3600 serial range. It has an "A" before the serial number. I don't know the significance of that.
