16ga PH with Round Grip
Hi all,
I'm hoping that someone can help take a look at these photos and tell me about the buttstock. The gun is a 1892 16 gauge PH on a Zero frame with 2.15 weight barrels. The stock is 14.5" LOP, 1-1/4" DAC and 2-3/4" DAH
The seller told me that someone who is knowledgeable in these things looked at the stock and told him it was original, but I haven't seen other guns of this era that look quite the same - I think it's the checkering pattern and the high DAC (1-1/4") that are making me wonder.
Also, it looks like one of the screws on the left side of the gun is a replacement and isn't flush with the body- should this worry me? Also, the forend needs work as it was shortened after a previous breakage and is missing it's metal tip. I just want to know what I'm getting myself into if I move forward with this gun. I'm mostly looking to hunt and bust clays with it, but want to make sure I'm not throwing my money away and/or buying a money pit.
