John if the barrels are good, my concern is the wood.

Barrels--since pressure is not in the equation for recoil

assuming we are talking well worn guns
buy the barrels first if they are not good that gun cannot be used without sleeving which is only practical for very rare guns then overall - beyond the barrels - its overall condition - is it shootable as is, if not do the repairs exceed the value at the end of the project

When it comes to pressure the barrels are the weakest point and are always my main concern. Recoil would be the culprit to be concerned with as far as the wood goes. Personally I am not going to shoot anything with so much recoil that I would need to be concerned, at least not in my vintage doubles.

Pressure -- barrels.
Recoil -- stock head Date -- mid 1880's (but my experience with earlier is nil)

The wood at the wrist, especially in my 1 frame and 1-1/2 frame 12ga guns and one 2-frame with a slim wrist.

Wood and barrels.
As for date, I look more at the type of steel used and then wall thickness. I have one early back action that I do shoot, but only with RST's |
