Finished Laurona side by side

[stilchen67]

I've always wanted a Spanish side by side and was fortunate and came across one this fall. Not a high end AYA or anything along those lines- but I must say I enjoy shooting this gun more than my Berretta or Ithaca. The gun needed some tlc as thereceiver was very pitted and stock was had numerous dents and scratches, so I thought I would try to fix it myself. Amazing what one can learn from watching youtube- here are some before and after photos- I used linseed oil and did the checkering. Must say -I really enjoyed it. the gun is a 50 year old Lourona- they are IMG_7874.jpgIMG_7881.JPGno longer in production--before and after shotsIMG_7932.jpgIMG_7934.jpgIMG_7934.jpg

I checked into the history of the gun- guess they began in the early 40's by 4 gun makers- Laurona meaning the four- they don't come around very often -but honest to God if you hunt grouse and woodcock- it is a joy to shoot- usually they go between $500 to $600 chokes are modified and improved

Laurona are pretty good value. Had one in 20g for a while. Mine had crazy tight chokes so I had them opened up.

Nice work, gun looks great. I had one in the 60s. It had 30 inch barrels both full choke and 3 inch chambers. Never saw another like that. High flying ducks in the afternoon feared me..............................Daniel

Well done, Stilch. I've got a 16 ga. Spanish boxlock in my cabinet that will be getting a similar treatment.

Awesome job!
Nothing like good old fashion wood stock. Restoring an oldie is very satisfying
