Shotgun restoration
Good day
Got a very old black powder shotgun from my dad yesterday. Keen to shoot it but it needs some work.
The stock is busted and i think that might also be the reason that it don't want to stay cocked.
Any one who you guys can recommend to work on the shotgun??

Re: Shotgun restoration
Strip the gun and take photos of any inscriptions on the action and barrels. There should be enough knowledge here to give better advice.
You might have a classic on hand and cause irreparable damage when meaning good.

Re: Shotgun restoration
As far as I'm concerned, Photobucket is kaput. Their blackmail tactics turned almost everyone in the world against them.
Is your gun a muzzleloader or a cartridge gun?

Re: Shotgun restoration
I have repaired a shotgun stock that snapped in half with good results, try upload your pics with Imgur or tinypic and lets have a look. Or email me, croc1@gaucheair dot com.

If you have serious bucks to spend, Gerrie Coetzee in Bloemfontein does exceptionally good work.
