Heads-up Rock Island Auction

[GH-16]

Just wanted to pass on some information on about a reproduction 16/20 combo that is going to the hammer at the Rock Island auction.

It looks like a pretty nice gun over all and if your interested in a 16/20 combo this could be the one for you. What I want to bring to everyone attention is this gun is shown with two forearms a splinter & a beavertail. Be aware that the beavertail is an after market piece of wood put on the original splinter fore-end iron. The splinter wood is the original to the gun, but has no iron with it. This combo set can be taken back to the original configuration if wanted by putting the splinter wood back on the iron.

The other thing I noticed is in the description of the gun it mentions that the 16ga barrels are 26". Looking at the pictures you can tell that they are probably the 28" that all 16ga barrels were to my knowledge.

Just some information so those who check in here can be informed of what they might be bidding on.

FYI, I have no connection to this gun. This is just some things I picked-up on looking at the RI catalog.
