Default Myers 20Ga. Hammer

I'm guessing this gun was probably sold thru Sears back in the day. If anyone has any info would be great. It says Myers Long Range and has 40 inch barrels and in 20 Ga. I think it would put it in the rare group. Thanks Thomas

How does it handle with those long barrels? Have you weighed it yet, just curious?
Very unique piece Tom

Harold: I just put it on the scale and it comes in at 6.95 and you do feel the muzzle end but I just had shoulder surgery and not real strong on left shoulder yet. Thomas

We need a close up of the marks on the barrel flats, and just forward of the flats Tom.

Its good barrels with no dents and no cracks in the stock but will run it by gunsmith for final check. Thomas
