Re: 1889 Coach Gun

Re: 1889 Coach Gun

I couldn’t in good conscience cut one up

I can’t see destroying history like that. Making one from parts is different

Re: 1889 Coach Gun

Thought of that but I want a pre 1895 one with Damascus barrel so that means a grade 3 or better. I want to upgrade the stock from the wood used on a grade 3, and definitely want the Damascus pattern to show like new so that means either a refinish or finding a higher grade with above average figure...

Re: 1889 Coach Gun

So I been pricing this out and am coming to about $3,000 more or less. Still need fore end parts and a trigger guard plus I am sure some springs and whatnot.

Re: 1889 Coach Gun

Not a bad idea I but I was also planning on shortening the stock to little over pistol grip length - whatever works out to the legal limit

I think I will probably just do the best refinish job I can by myself

Re: 1889 Coach Gun

1889 Coach Gun

So I have been wanting a 1889 coach gun, with maybe 18” barrels, for a while but the thought of chopping up a good gun turns me green. However this week I acquired the parts to make one starting with a complete action with 27” Damascus barrels, sans stock and locks, and a pair of locks. Still need t...

Re: Thinking of buying this one

I'm looking so if you come across one with solid metal and decent bores drop me a line if you want to sell it whole. I don't mind doing stock work or replacing a stock. I don't mind refinishing metal but if it's lose or the bores are suspect no I am looking for a shooter
