Bill, I love the Evans guns, own a matched pair that are my regular shooting guns. However, I would not recommend a high mileage gun, half of a pair, with a repaired stock and .021 wall thickness to anyone at any price. I agree that Kirby is an upfront guy, but this gun would not be for me. I would have sent this message by PM, but then the other posters would not hear another opinion contrary to theirs. This gun probably has a Webley screw grip action, a wonderful design, but possibly made by Scott, not Evans. To be honest, my excellent sidelock Evans guns may have been made by Scott also, not a detriment to the quality of my guns or yours. Good luck with your purchase.
