The gun rehabilitation is complete. The stock is finished. Here it is sitting on what remains of the walnut beam if came from.
Here is a brief video that better shows the stock finish.

The 2 ½ inch 16 ga shells arrived in the mail today. All I need is the weather to improve so I can test fire it. At any rate, here it is in its completed state.
I think its an improvement from the condition it was in for the last few decades.
The last phase it test firing. Here it is in the firing sled.
Here is a short video of how the trigger will be deployed from a distance.

So with this gun finished Its time to start the next one which involves a 1967 Ithaca model 66 Super single, buck buster, lever action 20 ga shotgun, an angry raccoon, lots of raccoon urine and a coffee can full of nasty gun parts. Time to stock up on rubber gloves.
Ill start a new thread for that one.
