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


    q






    me neither but it's coming along nicely, needs new locks.

    problem was that after plum browning the trigger guard I snapped it
    in ha
    at
    the screw hole, crappy. I was thinking to weld a little piece of
    metal to
    the
    back side and work it down but I think that's a little overkill, plus
    I s
    at
    welding. New plan is to JB Weld a small piece of tin to the back and
    work
    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.
