Thanks James, That beauty is new in my life got her just two days ago, I let you know about her pass after I do a background check.
BTW, John. I'm a little more dug out from my move. Are you still looking for info on that French gun?
Yes, I do James, So far this is the only thing I have found is "I think" that it is a Verney Corron,(http://www.ethnos.gr/opla/arthro/ena_vernef_carron_sto_xeri-63393281/) I would appreciate your knowledge on French made guns for sure. Let me know what you need. Thanks John

Sorry John, missed this until I was looking for the pics of the St Etienne gun. Yes it was a 16 gauge, reasonably high grade Robust. Could easily be the same gun although I did not save any pics. It was offered at what I though was a very sharp price so I was on it fast with an "I'll take it". Seller said okay, then things got sketchy. Wouldn't give me info for where to send the money etc. After about three days he finally told me he had decided not to sell it. I got the distinct impression that when he got such a fast response, he realized he may have under-priced the gun somewhat. The difference between top dollar and a good buy isn't that much. We aren't talking $1000's here it was in the range of a $300 difference, IMHO. So I wasn't too impressed with his EE manners.
I don't think so Patrick, The gun is at the engraver right now then it's going back to Chris for the final work, long process but worth waiting, here some pictures of the wood.
That wood is spectacular! Looking forward to seeing some pictures when it is done.
Added a new (to me) Browning BSS Sporting 12 ga. to the stable, fits just like my BSS Sporting 20, so I am sure that we will get along;
HC, that picture look like you just Photoshopped the new one into your previously posted photos! LOL
Nice acquisition!

Do quality single target guns count in this thread? This is an older (1977) TM-1 Perazzi I picked up last month at a trap shoot. Bought it from the AB Perazzi distributor. It has been upgraded with a nice Turkish Walnut adjustable comb stock, 34" barrel with screw chokes (#'s 5,7,9,11) with #5 being light mod constriction and #11 being extra full. Fits like a dream, ultra soft shooting and true to Perazzi form absolutely pulverizes targets. I am currently using the #7 choke which is an Imp Mod constriction. I have made arrangements with the distributor to send the gun back to Perazzi at the end of the shooting season for a complete servicing including rebluing and a forend upgrade to match the new stock.

That is a beauty, Spank... I still have a BT-99 in the locker, but it would look pretty shabby placed next to that one in the rack... very classy gun, and beautiful grain in the wood.

Here's one I picked up off the EE this past winter and gave it some minor TLC. It's an AYA in 16 gauge from 1965. I was thinking about selling it but after shooting a few rounds through it I think I will hang onto it for awhile. Should be a decent little upland gun.
You have a great looking lineup. Although 26" barrels seem to be a bit out of fashion there are still a lot of guys that love them. As a side note.....since you are using your floor as a background you certainly have room for more additions in the picture.

Thanks for the compliments fellows. I have to say this is my favorite thread on CGN. I love the guns posted in here. The workmanship in them really goes back to a time when quality and pride of craftmanship were first and foremost in gunmaking.
Here is another. It is a 1982 Armas EGO Sidelock. It has ejectors, 27 3\4" barrels, 3” chambers, choked Mod & Full, LOP is 14 3\4” and it weighs 7 pounds 1 ounce. It has very nondescript wood but I did refinish it which has helped.

Patrick, you've turned that sidelock Ego into a fine looking gun. It likely isn't bad for fit/shouldering either which will make it well suited for upland.

What a beauty! Looks fantastic. Excellent work on the refinishing
Found a nice Citori 525 Field 12 gauge as I liked the fit and feel better than the Citori 625...
So the field line-up for 2016 is a Browning Citori 525 Field 20 and 12 gauge, and a Browning BSS 20 and 12 gauge ( and, yes... same floor ) ;
