Fuji Shooter Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Does this by chance have a centre bead fitted? If so I think its my old gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yes, it used to but it was removed... may well be your old gun. I bought it from Riverside Shooting Ground in bidford. The mark on the stock is a rubber pad mark and should easily come out. LOP is 40cm and Drop at heel is 6cm, drop at comb is 4cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 That looks like a cracking gun, did someone on here buy it ? I'll be interested how they get the marks from the butt extension off as I have a SBS with the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a mark, it's where the uncovered wood has bleached with sunlight. That section will have to be darkened to reduce the effect.

Do you have any tips to help me and the buyer sort the stock out ? I still think it's a beautiful gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Understood, I didn't comment until it was sold either. Do you have any tips to help me and the buyer sort the stock out ? I still think it's a beautiful gun. I am not sure it will be an easy job but a competent cabinet maker could probably reduce the effect with stains. You often see this on the Antiques Road Show but on old furniture where it has sat for years with one area exposed to direct sunlight or part covered. Maybe a good gunmaker could assist but I think its more a wood specialist that is required. You could of course cover the bleached area and place the stock in sunlight for a few years until they matched This gun at that price was a great deal. A lot of quality gun for little money. I suppose its only limitation was being a skeet but with the right cartridge combination that's not a problem on most sporting layouts. Back in the 70's a friend had the an SO EELL with straight grip stock, a game gun really but he used it for clays......an absolutely beautiful gun. This is worth a look, swing out locks and quality wood.

Bos Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 It was sad to see it go, but never used it. Shoot mainly wildfowl and high volume pigeon and never wanted to put heavy cartridges through it. Pleased all round I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
