Lord Geordie Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I would seriously try getting that repaired and proofed. That would make a beautiful game gun. I only wish I was closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Basher Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Unfortunately, much as one would like to, it's not always financially prudent to 'do up' old guns. I am assuming this one is fairly pitted in the barrels and the photo shows that it is quite likely to be off the face. Even if the pitting could be lapped out and leave a reasonable barrel wall thickness the costs of renovation would not justify it, in my opinion. You are likely to pay £150 to re-joint, another £150 to lap and polish, another £150 to re-brown. Then there would be the cost of fixing the lock. Not to mention re-proof costs and any work to the stock. So, to get it looking nice and in shooting condition again, one could spend well in excess of £500. All this for a fairly plain looking Belgian hammer gun. I think the owner is probably correct in saying that this one is ripe for deactivating as it would make a nice wallpiece. Just my opinion, I hope nobody takes offence. C - B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C - B None taken from me, some people think restoration can be done on a shoestring, on examination of a gun like this its sometimes an Easy decision to Deactivate or Restore C-B your what i aspire to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I would have a go at it if the seller would RFD. Bringing the gun back depends on bores as barrels are the only thing i won't touch. bringing it back on to face won't take much, locks are fun and interest me, and stocks are fun.
