Perkins back to life
« on: May 20, 2019, 12:57:53 AM »
Offered this for sale as it was a few weeks ago had no takers so spent most of the day working on it. Hammers are tightened back up, new oversized 1/4-28" nipples, and I addressed the muzzles. In filing the muzzles back the ramrod keeper came off the bottom plus after filing I didn't feel the best about what I was seeing at the muzzles so I went ahead and did a rejoin of everything at the Muzzles. A few before and after picks and a video. Also after the storm passed we threw and busted some clays but didn't record that. I will have at Friendship for sale if not takers down there then I will do a complete restore and case it.

That freshened up nicely! How does the stock look and do you have plans for refinishing it as well?

Few stock pictures. I don't intend to completely refinish at this very second. If it sells as is now I will do so. If not then I may do a complete restore.
