Unless price is no object, buying such project guns is rarely a worthwhile endeavor. You will likely never even get your invested money back considering the way the large-bore market is headed for such guns. If you simply can’t resist the temptation buy the one with the best barrels and most sound stock. Cosmetic issues can usually be taken care of without spending a lot more money on the more important mechanical stuff. And if you buy one that you later learn the barrels are unsafe... then most of what you’ve got into it is wasted.
