Update on this gun.
I bought this gun from Jay a while back primarily to "mine" the hammers for a freshening up of my $125 Grade Lifter 10 bore, which appears to be the first known exposed hinge pin gun.
I took this D grade, that I got from Jay to Kirk Merrington this past Sunday to evaluate the barrels, remove a couple of really minor dings, and to have the gun put back on face. The barrels were pretty crusty n the inside, but actually looked much better just from running the pig through them in the dent raising process. Kirk deemed that there was plenty (.045) barrel to tolerate a moderate honing.
So the gun is being rejointed, stripped and cleaned. Just now trying to decide to just re do the barrels, or keep the guns appearance in survivor mode.
The more I look at the gun, it seems to have a consistent "honest" appearance.
The only detraction are the Grade two hammers.
