he gave me my great grandfathers double percussion shotgun to see if i can repair the stock. someone put the butt against a tree and let go both barrels and broke the wrist. i think its going to be a wall hanger because the barrels have started to come apart at the breech. i need to find a trigger guard or something. It was made by William Moore.

The forstock is also broke but it was from wear from it being layed across the saddle. they did a good job on that one.
