Viewing this gun brings back memories of the Greener that I carried for years on upland bird hunting. My chokes were IC / M and the gun shot well even though it had been built for another gentleman. It’s always noticeable when you look closely at the wood that the gun has been in the hands of less than professional individuals working with tools not suited for the proper task. The stock grain on this is almost identical to that of mine. I deeply regret having sold the gun several years back because it was somewhat unique in comparison to other guns that I had. Beautiful right down to the silver stock oval. I do like the checked butt job you did.👍🇨🇦👨🦳
I wish! 🤣 it’s an Tag Heuer 1500. With a Swiss quartz movement. The “Heuer Monnin Mk1 Reference 844 Dive Watch” was the original automatic submariner style with the Mercedes hour hand, The Tag Heuer Aquamaster is the equivalent to the Seamaster these days, used Tag Heuer can be found with a much lower price point, but still a quality Swiss watch👍
Evening, I have an issue with my beretta silver pigeon 3. Every time I fire the bottom barrel, the empty cartridge gets stuck and won't eject, I have to ram it out with a rod. However, when using snap caps, it ejects fine. Any ideas
I would first ask you what cartridges you are using? If you’re shooting large shot 4’s or above it’s most likely the hull’s deformation when it’s pressed. But it could be many things. Ejector springs, corrosion in the chamber, falling to break the gun fully, I would first look at the hulls of the cartridge to see it I can see shot pressing against the hull walls increasing the size of the cartridge..!?
@devongunsmith4698 Thanks for the reply. It's a new gun, it happened the first time I shot it, I've tried many different brands of cartridges, but it still gets stuck.
@devongunsmith4698 Southampton, Hampshire Just come back from a clay shoot and still getting stuck in the bottom chamber, however today it decided to completely lock the whole gun up. Any ideas Many thanks Ashley
Agree, leave the gun with some original patina, makes to look like a old gun which it is, sleeving keeps the gun safe to shoot, IMHO does not lower value.
What a sweet gun to own. Beautiful job all around. My favorite videos side by side shotguns.
Great job..we need you down here in new zealand to service the good old guns.
Thanks 👍

Thank you for your kind comments 👍
I did a gun fitting with the client first👍
that is some skill level, that looked wonderful
🙂👍
Hey Devon Gunsmith! This is FANTASTIC! What great timing .... am trying to learn the skill here in CA and not a lot of mentors. Thank you!
Thanks 👍
Hi, I have just got hold of one of these, looks like the exact same one. Would you be able to share the model details so I can research?
No, sorry, once the customer has collected the gun, I tend to forget details..
A 3/4” recoil pad would have saved a lot of time…but I love the work and the result! Perry P., SoCal, USA
It’s my pleasure to do as my client requires.. so while there is an easy way to do it, sometimes the harder way is to can be more rewarding too.
I'm interested in your dive watch. It looks like an Omega Seamaster?

Are you using 76 mm (3 inch) cartridges in a gun chambered for 65(2.5inch) or 67mm (2.75 inch)?
That commonly causes the hull jam you describe..
