So I changed my mind on the Remington 3200 project and decided instead to focus on my 42 year old Perazzi TMS. I am awaiting a new recoil pad that was shipped to me yesterday from Perazzi Canada out of Winnipeg to replace the existing pad which I won’t be able to reuse after removing 1/2” from the stock to give me the LOP I need. Once it arrives the gun will be headed to CJ Dawe. We spoke twice this week about the work to be done. He is going to make a forend to replace the original and try to match as closely as possible to the factory upgraded stock I had installed. The internals have already been gone through and a new locking block installed and springs replaced.Then the gun will be off to Kobb for annealing before being sent to Lemieux for a bit of custom work, a skeletal top lever, pistol grip inlay or cap, a bit of engraving and then back to Kobb to be colour case harderned then back to CJ Dawe for the barrel to be reblued and final assembly before returning home. By then I should have a new knee and be able to take it out to the trap field. Figured I’d get it done and ready to go while laid up since I’ll be losing this shooting season anyways. Here is a few before pictures.
