Bob: Look down through these threads. I picked up an early SBT - might be one of the first from some comments - that had been re-stocked and the barrel sleeved from some catastrophic event sometime in its life. So from a collector's standpoint, it might be close to worthless. I posted pictures under my thread there. I think it is gorgeous and it is a blast to shoot with tight choke and 32" barrel.
When I was looking, I remember comments about the ejector timing being an issue that would require a good, experienced gunsmith. Of course these guns were made to shoot a lot, so that's probably why mine was re stocked - wood may have been busted all to heck. But someone took the time and expense to bring it back to grand form at least from a shootability standpoint. I won't be shooting it in competition, just for fun.
