Thanks Wayne, the bores are very clean as well...like new. One condition issue is two external cracks in the barrels(see below). These are 4-5" up from the forend lug and can't be see from the inside of the barrels. Dean gave me some good advice about having them micro welded, which I will do. The barrels are thick on this gun. I'll post another picture of the muzzle.

Every gun has a few surprises and I think the ones on this gun are fixable...and worth doing...

Mean while back at the ranch. How about some good pictures of floor and side plates.

The P stamped Laminated barrels from that period tended to be thick walled.

That is a gorgeous gun. Great find. Hope the seeming bbls cracks aren't serious. They look to be good candidates for micro welding to me.
