anyone able to check the book on 144962?

[Bill Holcombe]

Got a deal that may have fallen into my lap but want to check the specifics. It has a cutoff stock with a spacer but the rest of it I like for the price.

d2 , h , 2 (ejectors ?) ,cap grip 12 ga 26 in

[Bill Holcombe]

Hmm that is interesting... the gun is a 12 GH. Damascus barrels 30". Its straight gripped but it has been restocked at some point....

[Bill Holcombe]

Oh and its extractors

[Bill Holcombe]

Well I didn't buy it. Too frankengunnish for me. The numbers on the barrel were good but I was not certain the ones on the water table were original due to their lack of uniformity. Plus, the stock is only 11 inches long with a hideous 3"wood spacer and a 1/2 inch pad.

Just a lot of things that were squirely so I passed. The hunt continues.

You are learning fast. Some of us didn't!

[Bill Holcombe]

In all honesty, this one made it easy to walk away from. The spacer was bad enough and then how different it was from what the book said and then finally when I was looking at the serial numbers, on the water table the 1 was far more blocky then the rest of the numbers, and the 9 was cockeyed, and on the tang the engraving actually went into the beginning of the serial number, so I just wasn't comfortable with it.

You made a wise decision Bill.
