The gun is a rescue built from parts accumulated over some years. Probably 6-8 Model 12s went into it. The receiver came from one place, the bolt another, the fore end iron another, the barrel ring another, the adjuster and lock another, The shank and stock bolt another place screws and accessories another and the barrel yet another place.

16 gauge, WS-1 skeet barrel, some of the last Herters wood in the butt stock and the fore arm came from Macon.

The case is an old Boyt's in very good shape that I just walked into for really cheap.

The grouse is one of this years hatch, male. I asked the setter to sit in for the picture, but she was indisposed.

The stock is a very rich chocolatey brown with beautiful figure. The fore are was the best match color wise that could get out of Macon.

Rust blueing is next on the list.
