Re: remington
Heck, then I'll fill in w/mine.
I just resurected a 20ga SxS last weekend - here's the pics, after I finished.
I found it in a corner of a local funshop Sat - when I asked about it, the FFL looked at it with disgust on his face, saying: "The bores are rough, it's all rusty, and the stock's no good - if you want it for parts, $100".
I have to admit, I tore my pants
, getting at my wallet after I gave it a looking-over.
24hrs later, the original 26" bores shine like mirrors, likewise the bbl bluing. Some Howard's feed 'n Wax saw to the stocks - which have unblemished checkering, BTW, including a checkered HR buttplate.
The bottom line is: what was thought to be a loser, was a virtually unused shotgun, poorly stored - where whatever could/did get thrown in against it, leaving "handling marks" on the stock wood & tons of grunge
It's a 1935 N.R.Davis & Sons, "Davis-Warner Expert Hammerless Boxlock", assembled from the warehouse of parts that year, that Stevens Arms & Tool earlier bought when Crescent-Davis failed, in 1930.

Re: remington
Mesci, here's hoping you get your project up and running.
Pete, nice shotgun. I seriously need to get after putting furniture on my LC smith and Stevens 511.
