Looking good. It will look even better with your grandfather holding it He made my grandmother a grandfather clock. Or I should say he started making her one, then she passed. He never finished it. I recently finished it too, for my wife. I'm gonna drag him to my house and get him to let me get a photo of him holding the shotgun, next to the clock. He lost his leg long ago to a hunting accident, with a 16 gauge side by side shotgun. That's the one in the photo. He’s going to get a kick out of seeing your work. It will mean a lot to both of you. I never met either of my grandfathers, so I’m happy that you are able to have moments like this.

That is such a special project that I hope your son will appreciate just as much if/when it and the photo of your grandfather with it gets passed on to him.

That is just fine. The gun makers gun should take some lessons from you on what good wood looks like. You might need to teach the boys/girls at Remington how to do it.

Awesome! What other info do you have on the gun? Make? Model? Age? It's in the thread a couple places. It's a Stevens Savage Model 311c. No date. The 311C is hard to find and difficult to date. Nobody really knows for sure. Markings say Selected Forged Steel (7U) Proof Tested 16 Guage 2 3/4 inch Chamber Stevens Model 311C Savage Arms WestField, MASS U.S.A. That's the only markings I've found. I'm wondering if the 7U means anything, it must. But I'm not savy enough to find it.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
