These are the pictures I took everything else looked normal to me as for fit and finish. Everything Locked up tight the barrels had some minimal pitting just past the forcing cone and none of the screws were messed up on the bottom and all pointed north south. I’m just curious on some things since it’s the first one iv seen up here. I find quite a few VH PH and GH 12s but my first time coming across a 28 especially with an straight grip

Far from the worst refinishing job. Case hardening colors are not representative of Meriden's work, but done by someone who at least knows the temperatures the process requires. at least they're not cyanide. Little bit of pitting left on the bbls, but at least they are cold rust blued. Some may say that's high, I'm not one of them. 28ga is the flavor of the month, has been for a while, and shows no signs of letting off. I've seen plenty way above that. Put on your best bargaining pants and give it a shot, you will be smiling soon.
