The customer purchased all 3 shotguns on an auction site over time. He bought new wood for each and had me inlet the wood too the metal. The customer then finished each of the new wood. I disassembled, cleaned and repaired each gun as he brought them to me. Before re-assembly, I applied Graphite Black Cerakote to all the metal parts, inside and out, with the exception of the one that still had nice case-hardening. Even though a Stevens/Fox is not known as a quality shotgun, these guns made this gentleman very happy! I am glad I could help!
