Default 34" BHE-Gunbroker

I believe this one was for sale some time ago and now it is listed as a no reserve auction. What a great gun it must have been back in the day. To bad it has been modified extensively. Still going to make a great fun gun for someone. Link posted below...

With the DelGrego pad I would assume that they did work on the gun. There is a big weep hole in the barrel lower rib under the forend. Is it typical for DelGrego to believe in drilling weep holes to remove all moisture during a reblue? Are there other examples of DelGrego drilling holes on guns members own?

Just curious on the debate why some gunsmiths believe to drill. I know there is the opinion not to drill, but some disagree having seen the damage by mositure left behind from previous bluing jobs, when the relay ribs.

TIA

This gun was sold in the same venue by Ironman Arms a few weeks ago. There was some debate on this forum about weather or not the barrels were sleeved, it now mentions in the description that they were monoblocked.

That was a different gun that was sold by them a few weeks ago. It was a very similar gun but it was a 2 barrel set, also a different serial number.

I stand corrected, I do recall that being a two barrel set.

I looked at this a few times today. Even though it has had a lot of work done to it, I really like it. If it was monoblocked that means that the barrels were replaced from the chambers forward right? I wonder why they did that and then reverse choked it? I would have to trade a few to pull it off and the timing isn't right, but I really like that gun

There has been a bumper crop of B grades on the market recently.

Jay you MAY be surprised at how little this gun brings. You never know with an auction. I'm surprised at the Rock Island results. IMO there were some really good buys.

You are right about auctions. You never know. I rarely find good deals with RIA, but there were quite a few this time and I picked up something I will post pics once it’s in hand. I noticed as the bidding began, many of the guns weren’t making their low estimate, some not making their opening bid price. It was a rare RIA buyer’s market.
