Son's Old topper Model 088
« on: January 15, 2012, 11:56:02 AM »
I saw Dave Canterbury on youtube  redo a H&R  got me thinking of doing up a "custom " tack job .    I haven't had much luck finding a project gun  .   I have a 20 ga. that belonged to my late son , it was bought used and was used a lot . It has been setting since 1997 . After thinking on it,  Eric was in Royal Rangers (Christian boy scouts) and was doing Frontier camping fellowship  which is camping frontier  style . I decided He would have liked a tacked stock gun so after sanding staining rubbing and drilling  here is what I have . Wife told my to start using it . so it is going back in  to use
I think he would have approved

Hey Roy:
 
That is really neat. I'm sure your son approves of it, and glad it's o.k. with your wife. It's so great to see a tight knit family. That little gun will always be very special to you.
 
I want to dress one of mine up that way, also. I am a history buff, and I have seen lots of pictures of the first Americans who had firearms dressed up like that.
 
Take care and all the best,
