Belgium Browning Sweet Sixteen

Really? From the guy that was advising the hacksaw?

I got away from doing stuff for other folks, mostly because of the problem of folks thinking I should make their problems mine, a fair while ago.

I will occasionally take on a job for money, but the money, is usually an inverse to the amount the job interests me, as well as how much the job is interesting to the person involved. Guys that approach me with interesting projects tend to get freebies!

I think this one is an easy job, that I am interested in, as is the owner of the particular shotgun, and if he showed up on my door, I'd help him out for nothing, unless he demanded it of me, if that makes sense.

I don't offer up my services very often. When I do, it's to prevent someone from doing something I think is ill advised. Like hacksawing off the barrel of shotgun that can be easily repaired!

I am not a Nice person. But I am very practical! And I hate to see bad advice!

Well, I hope it works out for you.

Like I mentioned, I've straightened ONE and it was not a simple job. Not difficult but tedious to get it done in a manner that didn't leave things unsightly.

As for doing work for others, I actually do quite a bit of work for others and several people on this site can verify that. Usually not for money.

I suggested hacksawing off that barrel "If it didn't have any special value" It did. So now you get to fix it for the OP and still, good on you.

I would have offered but don't have access to a decent press and I'm not going out to purchase one.
