Refurbing The Lads 12g Shotgun

Finally finished doing up my 10 year old sons 12g shotgun so thought I would post a few pics.

 

We got it off a PW member (Seb) for a good price it just needed a bit of work.

 

Its a Midland Gun Co 12g O/U Double Trigger - the LOP was 14.5 and a litle long.

 

Anyway we decided to chop it down to 12.5" so not keen on the idea of doing it ourselves took it to a local gunsmith thinking there was a special way of cutting it.

 

Nope - put it in a vice and use a tenon saw!!

As you can see it was a bit bashed and scratched.

Thought we may as well add some new blueing so rubbed them down also.

And here it is finished - we also did the bit that was cut off to match just incase anyone wants to make it full size in the future.

 

This was done with Tru Oil and a Perma Blue kit.

 

Not true professional job like what Straightshooter turns out but my son loves it and total cost for the job inc the gun £100
