Garland Jackson ? He's a RSA member. Brad Bachleder - he past away but his son and wife still run the gunsmithing service in Grand Rapids Michigan.

The one I have now is the third one I've owned. The first two had too straight a stock - not enough drop for me. I like around 3" DAH with a 14 3/4" LOP. The first one had the stock epoxied back together so I couldn't bend it. Same with the second, just glued together in the lock area. The...

With the forearm wedge and plates in place, why couldn't you shoot it ? I had a 1873 with a broken stock [ broke in the wrist ] and with some good wood glue, Titebond II, and some small copper wire wrapped around the repair, I shot it for a couple of weeks till I found another stock. The guys at the...

The shot count is just what it says, nothing more. I have a couple of guns, one a 1894 F grade, with a jug choked barrel. When I bought it the right barrel was a skeet choke so I jug choked it back to Mod. I can't read the count on the lugs because I keep it over at the club. Someone could have open...

Garland Jackson, a member here, or Brad Bachelder, a gunsmith in Grand Rapids, Mi. Brad is gone now, but his family still carries on with the business.

delete, or at least I tried - there is no simple delete - why ?

My mistake - serial # is 702, not 72. Still a early gun .

Nice job. I had thought of doing the same thing a number of times but never did it. I don't know what you find crude or wrong with the engraving on the trigger guard. Everything looks great to me -

About the same gun as mine, but I have one with the straight grip. I'm surprised you made it with a pistol grip. Did the original one come with the PG stock ? Mine needs a refinishing, but at 73 years old I just feel like shooting it and not tying it up for a couple of years. Mine has the pattern Da...

Drew, thank you. I knew either one of you guys would come through. I just enjoy reading about early trap or live pigeon shooting. Thanks again. Paul

Maybe Drew or Reseacher can answer when most shooters went from BP to nitro. When I say most shooters I mean shooters in competition like pigeon or clay birds. I've shot BP in SxS events where we do 50 SCs and 25 5-stand plus 25 skeet or trap. A fast round of 5-stand or trap makes the barrels get so...

Drew, thanks for putting all those one after the other. I've copied some of your previous post but they're on about 4 or 5 different pages. Soon as I can get out again to Office Depot I'll buy another printer and copy this post of yours. I like showing them over at the club to let guys know that SxS...

Back in the 70s I use to shoot a lot of trap, and once I learned it, it seemed easy to shoot a 23, 24, or 25. I quit till just this year and man why it's so hard seems a mystery. Lately I've improved quite a bit, back in the 20s. The reason I started again was because I bought a Parker SBT. Now I tr...

Sounds like twoshooter will take care of you. I have a 73, 82, 89, and six 94s. Remington barrels, Damascus and steel, were all good barrels. Some Damascus like on my C grade 94 were just fancier, not any stronger. Remington proofed all their barrels for nitro loads. Maybe the wood dried out a lot a...

There is a screw going from one lock to the other. How did the locks fall out from a crack ?
