details for those who care

30" unfooled with barrels and spotless bores - identical measurements in both 1 weight tubes--> .723 bores with four inches of choke ending in 36 thousand of constriction - 42 minimum wall thickness just before the chokes start and 75 thousands 9 inches from the breech -- 2 5/8 chambers

bluing is a little worn with a very few spots that need attention- I was going to have it reblued, but the more I look at it, I think I'll give the frontier pad treatment and let it continue to age gracefully.

the stock was refinished before I got it, I could not ask for better shooting dimensions

There is some case color- mostly in protected areas - screw heads near pristine.

The Kick-ezz pad has to go- I have a Galazan's solid red one that I think will look much nicer.

Rick, have you, gulp, gone over to the dark side?
(I am bringing my"The Sterlingworth Co." pin gun to Hausmann's also). Mine has 4 wt barrels choked cyl and mod as per the Fox catalog. And yeah, I thought it was a VH at first glance at a gun show as I was walking around with Russ Jackson

not going - just keeping one foot in it- truth be told- my first grouse gun (and for very many of my young years - my only grouse and skeet gun) was a Sterlingworth.

don't worry, Parkers still hold the majority in the safe.

Harold ,I apologize , but it seems we are both wrong on the date ! A buddy of mine from work ask me to join him this weekend and go to the Washington show which I could not do ! Looking on the Show dates before posting this , they list the next show on 6/20/2015 so we didn't miss anything !
