English Shotguns Resoration
« on: March 23, 2018, 03:15:20 AM »
I have just finished restoring three English Percussion gun , these were not in too bad of a state  most of the work was  cosmetic  with  removing grime and rust . The cases required more work has some of the linings were moth eating and broken petitions . Enclosed are the images .
