   I've seen shabbier pieces if wood.  Should have mentioned 26" Full Choke made in 1937. The Old Girl has aged well. I'll post some pics of her younger sister a little later. DB Bill aka Bill George | ||

It is almost unbelievable that a tree can yield such results. Simmons is now making solid ribs for the Mod. 12/42 crowd. Seems to be high demand. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

This is her younger (1947) sister ... I actually like this wood a bit better and as it has a modified choke I actually shoot it a bit better ... crunches skeet targets when I'm having a good day.  The other side.  DB Bill aka Bill George | |||

Really pretty stocks. Did you have them done? xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

$500.00 plus shipping costs. Do you want my FFL dealer's address?  "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Simmons is now doing Winchester style solid ribs for the 12's and 42's. Pretty cool looking. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

There are a lot of places that do a much nicer job than Simmons when it comes to Model 12's but especially Model 42's. Almost every gun I've seen "done" by Simmons has been buffed much to hard and there work is priced on the high end --- they do seem to get the work done quickly. DB Bill aka Bill George | |||

Very nice! Although I have to say that I am not fond of a lot of checkering. It covers up so much beautiful wood (just my opinion). One of these days I am going to get a custom stock and no checkering. I met a guy at Ozark Shooters sporting range (near Branson, MO) and he had a beautiful piece of wood that he was having made into a stock and he said he would not have it checkered. Unfortunately, for some reason, I do not have the privilege of posting pics here or I would show you one of my guns which has some nice wood too. May not be quite as nice as Bill's though. however, if you want to see a pair of guns with beautiful wood, check this link. http://www.gunstockblanks.co.uk/gunsgalleryinfo.asp?id=24 | |||

Simmons is doing nice work, even if it is my son-in-law! Here is their new solid rib and a round post/donut rib on Model 42's. Pretty nice work in anybody's book. Simmons will have a booth in Tulsa this weekend. Stop by and have a look.    ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.
