Picked up the VH I bought a few days back yesterday, and very happy with the gun. It's in what appears to be excellent condtion outside of a few spots on barrels where they are a bit discolored, looks like maybe someone left blood on them at some point.....
Wood has some handling marks from years of use, but nothing bad. I bought some Timberluxe from Mr. Board, and it should be here next week. BTW, he's a great guy to talk to, and very helpful, can't wait to see how his product works.
The chambers are 2 3/4". This is a 1927 gun, my 1926 Trojan has 2 5/8". Are the 2 3/4" in the VH original? Or were they lengthened? I have ordered the factory letter, not sure if chamber lenghts are listed in those. Also, chokes as measured by one of those Galazan style gauges are M/F.
I have not taken any other measurements yet, I have a manson gauge, and will be checking that too.
Plan to go shoot a couple rounds of Trap with it this evening, can't wait to take her afield this fall.
For right now, she's just hanging out with some old friends.
