Where the pics? Most around here appreciate a nice old shotty

Tank, I have a customers SxS shotgun in storage, that Miall's rebuilt.
After seeing the work they done on this SxS, I have problems recommending them to people!
These a bloke in Albury (?) named Wright but I'm not sure if he only does Stock Work on shotguns or Metal Work as well.
He has a very good reputation.
Hope that helps
Doh!

I have a 1930's WM Cashmore 12g that was my Great Grandfather's gun. It was used extensively in competition over a lot of years by him and I have put a shed load of shells (both comp and hunting) through it over the 30 odd years it's been in my possession.
It's in need of some sympathetic restoration....Maybe some re-case hardening, rust bluing, bores would benefit from a good polish (better still an overbore) I would love to take some of the choke out of the 32", 'full' and 'fuller' barrels....
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Miall's in Frankston? Or are there better places to send her for an overhaul? I would love to get this quality gun returned close to it's former glory before I pass it down to my son (named after my Great Grandfather) someday.
Your collective help greatly appreciated.
Regs,
Tank.
