IJ used beautifully figured wood on the SKEETERs. I'd love to see it.
... so you bought it already? PG or straight?? Single trigger or double" Mine had a selective Miller. . |

Dean, I'm picking it up next week. Pistol grip, ejectors and double triggers. Dean, the wood on this skeeter is better than what's on my DHE Repros. The dark burl is stunning. The one drawback is that for a 410 it is a bit on the heavy side. But I'll get over that. A good friend of mine at the club shoots a very nice Browning 410 over under. When I show him this 410 skeeter it will blow his mind. I'll have to let him shoot it. Do you know how many of these Iver Johnson made? I'm told that it was less than 500.

I dont plan on selling it. What my 2 grandsons do with it after I'm gone is not my concern.

IJ never used a urethane finish on the SKEETERs.
And yes, they’re bit heavier than some of us think they ought be but that’s because they were made as competition Skeet guns, not as something you’d be carrying all day in the grouse woods. . |
Then what is the finish they put on? It looked like urethane to me

Depends on when it was made... urethane wasn't being used as a gunstock finish until at least 1940 having just been invented in 1937.
