[burnt_servo]

anyone read it , what did you think ?

 

[Arctic]

It's a good read, explains what's required, not going to make you an expert!

 

[dero338]

It will make you understand why they cost so much

A good book. Not as inspiring as Practical Stockmaking by Westbrook, but a good read all the same.

X2 with what Arctic said

Watched a couple of gunsmiths, a good many years ago in Havre Mt turn a Browning sxs shotgun into a rifle. It was not a job for the faint of heart.

Good read. I got it for xmas last year. It goes into quite a bit of detail. But of course leaves some information out that you need to gleen from other sources.

Lots of Good info , Add Lots of Time & Craftsman Skill & Patience & ...Yer off !
PS I have a very Robust Russian SxS for a doner action if one needs .

Wont hurt a bit to add this one to your library, tell your better half to put it in your Christmas stocking. D.H.

I have a Parker Trojan 12 gauge action along with the barrel lumps if one is so inclined.

IIRC Butch Searcy used BSS actions for his first doubles.

Bought a BSS just for that purpose some years back. Haven't got around to it yet. - dan
