The good and bad about 34" barrels is that they are long. They can be unwieldy in the field. I find 32"s too long but depending on a person's height and the intended use, many are happy with these long barrels.
I have a friend thats a bit up in years but he still shoots well at skeet , trap and sporting and his go to sporting guns are a pair of Parker DHE 34" guns .

True, you can get the bluing off. But anyone who expects to remove bluing and find remaining case color is kidding themselves.

The operative word was "may" as in,
maybe I have been imagining seeing some remaining case colors under bluing.

So, don't expect to see any , but you may get lucky and there may be some left if the frame was not buffed prior to bluing.

Exactly. If it was there before bluing, and the bluing is removed with something like vinegar, it will still be there.

But how can something be properly blued without prepping the surface with polishing. Even minimal polishing will remove case colors. Not the case, but the colors.

'properly' being the key word. But, if, as Brian H says, it wasn't polished, surface bluing is unlikely to affect the colors resulting from heat treatment.

It was a steal from what I see. You could move it right here with dollars to easily cover your trouble if you decide that you do not like it. I would love to have one like it. Bob

Looks really nice. That forend looks a lot different than the stock for some reason.

Brian Dudley 04-03-2015 07:07 PM
Let's just agree to disagree on the case colors surviving bluing/bluing removal.

Back to the subject. Great find Brian!
