Actually... a wise man told me it would be a lot of work to have the stock remade into a more British style stock... So I did not bid on that I kept my bid's for the Crudgington and the Merkel 12ga, but both went far above what I was willing to put up. Actually during the entire auction, many guns and rifles went for far more money than I thought they should have gone.Lol. @VertigoBE was bidding against you on that one I think. It stood out to me as a gun that would sell under value. I think the stock has enough meat to be reworked into a righty English stalking rifle without using the extra blank.
