Hi Curtis. The letter does not offer a good deal of info and as you said the pictures are a little dark and distant. So for starters does the BTFE have the reinforcing bolt ? Is the barrel loop reinforced ? If you are uncertain of how to determine this post a close up picture of the loop and we can determine this. This should verify the authenticity of the BTFE. You can look under the trigger tang for the serial #, if present that will be a good indication the stock is correct. Of course better pics would be a great help. Water table, barrel flats, etc.

And still more pics. Hard to see, but the single trigger looks to have been over stamped with this serial number.

Take your pictures against a neutral background (light gray) white is the worst to shoot pictures against. Take some close up pictures of the receiver, sides and bottom. It does look like it has the reinforced lug on the barrel. What length are the barrels and do you have any idea of what it is choked?

Very nice. Would make a great doubles trap gun.

Looks to me like everything is right including the vent rib as evidenced by the flat top receiver. You can look under the rib between the 2nd and 3rd post usually to see if the last 3 digits of the ser # are stamped there, might need a dental type mirror or possibly go outside in good light to see it. Just another indicator if he #'s are present.
In regards to the #'s on the trigger I believe the last 3 digits of the ser # were stamped there as well but this one appears to have 4 #'s. Can you tell if they match the last 4 of the ser # ? Maybe someone else will offer something on this. Nice gun BTW. |

Hello Eric, Barrels are 30" long, Chokes are .018 in right, .030 in left. And here are more pics. Yes I know my picture taking skills are lacking, but my excuse is I was doing this between rain and hailstorms yesterday.
