Okay guys I finally got around to taking some photos of my rare inheritance. I'm getting ready to sell it but thought you all would like a better look at it. The one below is the only one I've uploaded to a site, but I have a bunch of close-ups too that I'll get up as ASAP.

Hey Tony, glad you brought this back up. The value of your gun is largely dependent on the condition of the barrels. If the barrels are salvageable the rest of the gun could be brought back to shooting condition with enough time and money. If the barrels are beyond redemption about the only thing you have is a few parts and sentimental value. If I were selling it I would have the barrels evaluated by a competent smith. If good, you have something of value.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to wonder if everyone went on vacation.

I took a quickie look with a bore light, and there appears to be only minimal pitting. But I haven't tried to clean it at all either. In either case it seems as if a polishing hone would work magic. I bet a copper wire brush would make a big diff even.

Now...I can't imagine getting this gun in condition to be a shooter. So to what end is "salvageable" in regards to the barrels??

Honing out most of the pitting and still have a minimum wall thickness of somewhere above .035 considering the remaining pits. If all the pitting disappears, .030 should be fairly safe. You also must consider the pitting on the outside. Sorry we left you alone on the thread, but Milton's mention of Kevin's $15,000 gun left us unable to type. The price didn't surprise us, but Milton's mention did.

But that .30 is if it were supposedly restored to shooting condition, no?? If this is truly one of only 12 made, I can't imagine someone wanting to shoot it again.

Posting these recent pictures helps with the evaluation. This looks like a major restoration that may or not be possible no matter how much money you put into it. You might be disappointed with the price/offers. I would keep it given the family connection.

Even if someone doesn't shoot it...it needs to be in shootable condition to have any real collector value. Just my opinion and I wish you luck on it...
