Thirtyfive years of collecting Evanguy, just keeping my eyes open and being knowledgeable enough to recognise something for what it is when it comes along.
The top carbine was bought at a yard sale for fifty bucks. It had the front wood cut right back to the receiver for use as a 'Dory gun' in a Nova Scotia fishing boat . No bolt, no mag (estate sale, seller could not find them).
The forearm is new made and the nose cap is taken from a Martini. The wood is now dark with oil so matches better than in the pics.
The bolt, mag and trigger guard are taken from a rifle (which are correct).
Bottom carbine was intact, just needed small repairs to the wood and a gentle cleaning. Both carbines have the original metal finish.
