I'm not keeping (m)any secrets. I wrote that gun up in PP a few years ago, and it has since been sold to another member. I believe he also sold it. It was unfired.

The curse of the unfired gun. You can’t shoot the damn thing (or can you?), so you have to sell.

But for those few who collect benchmark guns these unfired guns are the 'crem de la crem.'

Not really. I bought the gun, not to possess, but to learn from. It was too nice to keep to myself, and if I needed to shoot a 30" 12ga, I had plenty of other choices. A friend and I stopped in a little shop on the way to shoot clays at Sandanonna. The owner of the shop took it out to show us. We took it away, without giving it a thorough going over, and it sat on the backseat while we were shooting. It wasn't until we got back to his house that we realized what it was, so I bought it right then. I don't know if it has remained unfired, but It wouldn't have, had we left it in that shop.
