There was no saving it wood was ruined. The metal would have been extremely pitted and the internals looked like they would have been completely seized up

Not trying to hijack your thread but your picture reminds me of the gun that I got from my Grandfather after he died. It’s a 38 revolver and based on the serial number looks to be from 1980. I have all of the original paper work and box that it came in.

Any idea what caused those Browning O/U’s to be ruined ? Unless it was fire damage or flooding, my “wild arse guess” is those Superposed shotguns were possibly salt wood guns that date from 1966-1972. The date somewhat coincides with the date of your S&W and owner having $$$.

I don’t. If I had to guess I’d say they flooded but it would only be a guess.

Son and I took it to the range this afternoon. I’m now convinced it had never been shot.

Love it even more now. Sun was a bit of a bad angle so I was having a bit of a hard time seeing where it was shooting but it did extremely well.
