I would revise that to say "The only reliable number anyone can give is what they actually pay you when you are ready to sell it."

Yes. Part of that should have been what you are willing to pay right then and there.

Stanley, i have barrels for BH 72709 which is a 12ga. with similar provenance which i have been trying to find any information on the remaining gun, agian if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. joe

Joe - You better lock up those barrels. I think Brian Hornacek will be looking to buy them

Thanks for the information and history.
My question was: is there a reference as to how many grade 5 10Ga BH were made and for better of worse, I now have a much better answer.
If you send me an 'e' mail address I can send you some picteurs.
Best regards, Stan

John, thanks, hope you are giving Daisy all the attention she needs, if not i will be glad to get back to the Sanibel sunshine and see her.

Very nice!!

Joe - aren't you still down here? Free dog pets for you guys - for all others, $5 per pet, $10 if I have to listen to how much you miss your dog.

John, we are back in the Adriondacks, just got here, two feet of snow still on ground.
