Changing duty weapon ... tangent.

I will own one sooner than later.

JBS, are those yours? I don't know much gun history, but I like the looks of them nonetheless.

I'd love to have a NICE 416 Rigby, 470 Nitro or 500 Nitro ... PH style double gun.
I doubt I'd ever hunt anything with it, I'd just like to have one.

Leon, you crack me up!

I have always been a fan of wood stocks and I'm even more of a fan after owning a 12 ga. with a synthetic stock. Lighter isn't always better - especially when it comes to recoil.

Yes they are. I restored the Garand, Carbine, and L1A1 from very sad shape in between restoring firearms for customers. Here is the last customer restoration I did. 1942 Enfield made by Savage for the Britsh. This rife crossed the Atlantic twice.

When I was in Alaska, even on the firing range, a wood stock would change zero depending on the air temp. Or even worse, a hunting camp in late Oct or Nov. when the temps might swing from below 0 to 40 or 50 above. Made holding a zero wiuth the scope a real @$%^&. Made me a believer in synthetic stocks.

Im thinking deep S&W original blue and a nice set of custom stocks right now!!! But I think I will open a nother tab and order a 44 special ruger blackhawk and have some grips made. Gave me the fever again!!!

Never been a big fan of the synthetics, but I'm starting to come around to the idea. I prefer the classy looking wood, especially to hand down to the kids. Show em how real guns were made.
