Ed, a very simple way to know for sure if it's a OO frame (if it's stamped that way) is to look for the lightening cuts on the watertable of the receiver. If it has the lightening cuts or scalloped frame it's an OO and as Brian has said I don't see how that would be possible.

Eric,
Thank you for your information, I have no idea what a lightening cut looks like I will learn though. Bob K. and Terc I think are on the right track. I will look at the gun this saturday and take what I have learned in here and try to make a decision. Thanks again for all your help. |

Ed, these long tapered grooves on the action flats (water tables) are lightening cuts.

Thank you both for all your help. I talked to him earlier today and he said the gun had been opened up to improved cylinder in both barrels. I asked him to take his gun to a gunsmith and have him look at barrels for me. Thanks again for helping me out.

"Opened up" or perhaps cut back a couple of inches??

The gun wasn't cut back, I just found out it was opened up and is skeet 1 and skeet 2 in the barrels. A lot of my grouse shots are pretty far out especially after leaves are down. I just decided to pass on that gun. I found another with improved cylinder and improved modified that I am looking at and its in even better condition. Thanks again for everyone's help.
