Not one of the better ones MADE FOR Beesley from Prudey's and needing some metal + wood RundR. Some folks haven't a grain of shame.  That buggy thing belongs in a dumpster!

After making a lug for the lower rib I guess you might as well put the gun back on face. That is if you do not have to take a detour and have to relay the lower rib. IF that does not take you 40 years like the last owner then you can learn how much fun it is to inlet a side lock gun from a square blank. Number three on the things I like to do list. Number two is mention my wifes weight and number one is scratching my eyes with barbed wire.
But to be fair it is just now getting over priced. $50.00 is about what I want to invest in a good door prop. How about you?

The gap in the breech is scarier than the missing stock.

All right, I confess. I would rather mention my wifes weight after I had a few minutes to rub my eyes with barbed wire. Happy now.
If that was a Fox it would be about a B/C grade, Lefever a late style E grade. Point is that the winner might end up putting several thousand dollars or several hundred hours into a gun of mid level value at the best of times. Farm all the work out and you could easily end up with $4,000 or 5,000 dollars in the gun before you are done. Maybe much more than that if the barrels are a problem.
Now at 200 plus dollars it is getting into decent money for a project gun with major problems. What ever you do you will have a gun with a new forend with no matching wood and/or metal to the original gun. On top of that this is the potential money pit that we are often warned about avoiding. The best project guns you might get a dollar out for each dollar invested. This one will return maybe fifty cents on the dollar if you are lucky.
