I just completed the refurbishment of a really nice 16 bore SxS. I bought it as s project because it was all there, barrels were on face, ribs tight. Gorgeous French walnut stock. However stock very short, BB sized dent in RB. Checkering was only visible with magnification. I extended the stock, matched the grain. recut checkering. finished butt stock & fore end with oil. Installed Damanscus skeleton butt plate to accent the barrels. Refinished the Damascus barrels. 29" barrels choked .003 R & .012 Left. The dent was removed by Kirk Merrington. Kirk told me the barrel chambers measured "just about 2-3/4" and short of sending them to an English proof house are still in proof. In Kirk speak that probably means these chamber were 2-1/2 or 2- 9/16" cut a wee bit long. At any rate Kick said they had not have not been lengthened. The actions still has some color, so I left it alone. The is dandy upland game gun. Would post pix if I just could figure out how to do that.
