Ishotguns?Anyone know anything about Belgian percussion 10Ga. SxS
estimating 1850-1880.

me neither but it's coming along nicely, needs new locks.
problem was that after plum browning the trigger guard I snapped itin ha
at
the screw hole, crappy. I was thinking to weld a little piece ofmetal to
the
back side and work it down but I think that's a little overkill, plusI s
atwork
welding. New plan is to JB Weld a small piece of tin to the back and
that
down instead. I think that'll work well. Ha! Think so?

None of that worked, still in two pieces. In other news I'm a damn
artist.
Stock was eaten by some kinda worm (remember it's about 150 years old)
and a
large amount of wood was missing from right above the butt plate. Acraglass
plus a lot of sawdust, about 40% (sanding a piece of wood of roughly the sam
color as your stock). Make walls with your modeling clay so you can make
a
matchbox sized clump of AG. Wait... Start filing and sanding. It works bette
than I ever could expected, it is wonderful thing. Seriously I'm
awesome, it
looks really good.
