I was at a friend's house and saw a shotgun his dad brought back from Europe slightly post WWII.
It's labelled on the rib:
W&C Scott, XXX Shaftesbury Ave, London.
The frame is also marked W&C Scott. Proofs include a crown with the letters BV underneath.
The forearm is missing, but the bbls,stock and receiver are in good shape. I suspect this is a Belgian trade gun, but quality and finish are excellent. I also suspect short chambers, but didn't check them.The stock has the Prince of Wales type grip, and a butt plate of anonymous origin.
Anyway, is this a decent shotgun and worth trying to replace the forearm, and is there any possibility of getting one w/o spending an arm and leg?
Thanks...
