It doesn’t look too bad. Let us know your plan for the gun.

Somebody attempted to resolder the ribs and did a poor job of it.
Otherwise, looks good.

Good buy. It may need a little work...or a lot depending on what you want it to be, but I think you did well.

If the barrels check out I’ll get it fully restored, maybe not case color but everything else redone.

Thinking of sending the barrels to Bachelder since he’s local, just to get them checked out to see if they are restorable. Seems to me they should be, but I’m no expert.

So, I got some pretty bad news from Brad today.. Doesn't look like the barrels are safe.. Really, really disappointing. Apparently they've been honed at least once already and the right tube in his opinion is just a bit too thin.

A couple options.

1. Restore barrels cosmetically and fit with Briley tubes.

2. Fit 2 fame 10 gauge Bernard barrels.

3. Fit 2 frame 12 gauge steel barrels.

4. Cut my losses. No more gambling.

Thoughts?
