Curious as to what the LoP is with the new pad added?
And if the weight was effected. Also point of balance?
Thanks! |

Looks good, Mark! I wish I was in a position to bid, but I've been waiting 7+ months for another 16 to show up and I'm scrambling to get my funds together. |

The pad added 4oz. It's now 6lbs 8oz, and with the longer barrels, still balances just forward of the hinge pin. Lop is 14.5". It was pretty short at 13.75" before, so I felt a pad was needed. A thinner pad could be used, or this one could be ground down as well, for a shorter lop and to shave off an ounce or two. |

I also took a bit of Fitz polish and removed that brown streak area on the left side plate. Looks much better now. |

Congrats to AirMedic on his new gun and congrats to Mark for doing such a great job with this gun.
Thanks to all who bid. This has been a great way to support the forum, and an old unique gun has found a new life!
AirMedic, I think you will find this gun points quite nicely. The slender forearm and double triggers make this O/U an easy transition for those who are accustom to classic sxs guns. Enjoy! |

Thank you, I’m looking forward to receiving it. I would also like to say that Mr. Larson is a gentleman and I have enjoyed doing business with him!

My adult sons and I shot a few hand thrown clays but that is it. |
