It will look fine. One you get it dialed in you can shape and blend to fit. Richard (ssb73q) did that to all of his.

That's a real gem Shootemup! And being Goonerized is even better!

No but it looks a lot like it. That's the one that started me on this kick. It's a Rigarmi made in 1969. I put it through hell and high water when I was a kid. It already looked bad from all that and a number of years in my moms attic with a broken loading lever didn't help it any. I finally got a new lever but next to the rust and pits it looked really funny. I took the finish off the lever but it still looked funny. The gun was never going to look new again so I stripped it down and defarbed it and aged it. The first time I tried to load it with a ball that was too hard that lever broke. They don't make them like they used to. I've got another new lever around here somewhere. The next time I come across it I'll fix the old girl up again. That's the one that chains every time unless you use over ball lube or wads. Sorry for rattling on.

I think the old girl is beautiful Hawg! If you had said it was an original, I would have believed you. It really does look like an old Remington you may have found in a barn.

Thank you sir. I actually did find one in an old barn but I foolishly sold it back in the 90's.

Don't feel bad. We all have those "the one that got away" stories.
