Many of the same odd things are going on with this gun as the other one in this thread. It's a made up gun, likely on an 0-frame with aftermarket CSMC barrels, barrel wedge engraving, BT forend and case. The S/N appears removed from the tang, etc. I make no claim of being a wood species expert, but the wood, to my eyes, appears to be Claro walnut (Juglans hindsii) and not English walnut (Juglans regia) as the seller claims.
I agree with you Ryan regarding the latch fit and apparent crack.
Caveat emptor. But hey, someone may fall in love with it.
