Yeah, I tried to type a reply, but I guess it somehow was lost. I don't want it customized, but would like to get back to something like it was when new. It isn't really a fancy gun, and I am not worried about killing the collector's value. It isn't going anywhere except down the line. I have several shotguns, but I was taught to hunt by my gradfather, and this one deserves to be hunted with.
The wood is not salvageable in my opnion. A nice piece of mid grade american walnut from wenig or somebody ought to be perfect. The question that comes up is the mechanism and metal work mostly. Does anyone know of someone who can do this without costing an arm and a leg? I might consider having screw in chokes added, but that can wait until the rest is done.
