As the title states here's an article recently published in the ShootingSportsman documenting the restoration of a magnificent Greener by one of our very own Canadian gunsmiths, Claudio Opacak (claudio o).

Part 1: https://shootingsportsman.com/greener-restoration-1/
Part 2: https://shootingsportsman.com/greener-restoration-2/

This article can be viewed as an official 'next chapter' to CanvasBack's Lindner Charles Daly restoration tutorial, which also featured Claudio's work.

Here's a link to that one: https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=569690#Post569690

Hopefully we can expect to see more like these from our masterful craftsmen from time to time...
Checkout what Claudio has done, it's no wonder he's now "endorsed by W.W. Greener’s gunmaking team to repair high-grade Greeners in North America." !
Simply Amazing!
 
PP, thanks for posting those links. I completely forgot to do that. I have had the privilege of shouldering that Greener and, as the only English exhibition quality gun I've handled, it's beyond words. And the work required to bring it back? Just incredible. I'm sure the efforts on my Daly were child's play in comparison for him.
 
Good Lord! After reading the Claudio's Greener articles and James' Lindner Daly restoration thread, I think I need a cigarette! And I don't even smoke! :d

Outstanding, gentlemen, outstanding!
 
Thank you Michael, and thank you all....glad you like the work
I’ll try to post some more pictures once I have them all sorted out

All best

CJ
