Very nice example, great pics. I own your guns twin however mine is is a prime example of the weakness in this design. The front of the receiver is fully cracked through the hinge pin and cam pin. Too much machining in a critical area. Nice sample of receiver failure though.

Is that a grade E? Here is one, former basket case stock...broken for decades....and now a favorite courtesy of Dewey Vicknair, that I really enjoy. Two barrel set 26" and 30" barrels.
