I found this 20 gauge LC featherweight field grade when we lived in the Richmond area of Virginia. It was at a gun show and it was the only 20 gauge Elsie I’ve ever seen for sale so I bought it and eventually removed the stock and spent a great deal of time, removing the oil and realized that the wood inside the head was very, very thin. Eventually, after I moved to Colorado, I became friends with a wonderful Gun Smith Hill live in Iowa and worked at a Gun Smith school there and he agreed to reinforce the head of the stock and refinish it as well as case color the action in blue the other central parts. I got it back almost a year ago, but never posted, any of the pictures I took when I first received it. Hope you like what you see.
I used it dove hunting this last September and did very well, but it was Surprised to eventually learn that contrary to the norm the right barrel was choked as Modified and the left barrel, which should’ve been tighter, was actually cylinder? Go figure? -Doug
