A really nice older Smooth Bore!

Had a 12 bore smoothie come in on consignment, it needed a little TLC. Circa is 1970's.

Made a few small repairs, she does need matching wedge pins. Price is 700$ due to the fact I have over 4 hours clean up work in this piece. 

Have to get paid so I may as well tell folks up front. See picture on details on sheet. 

FYI: It does have an early Siting Fox [42" appx barrel] as the SF stamp is on the top flat. 

Dixie Works lock made in Italy

Hand carved stock from A Vermont maple.
