I have nothing in on this gun and don't know who the seller is but at the starting price of the gun and being a NO RESERVE auction with a BUY NOW for just about a Hundred $'s more , don't you think the seller knows the problems with the gun and has it priced accordingly ? After all it is a D Grade priced about where most half decent Trojan Grades start ! Just Saying !

For what it is I would prefer the decent Trojan and they are both a thousand dollars into the wish bucket on price. That gun is a serious POS in my thoughts. Opinions may vary.

The seller does not realize how bad the gun is. It is the only shotgun he lists in seven pages of other junk. The buy it now price is about $1200 too high.

I had a GH like that once - the 'Damascus Steel' was obliterated and engraved matting was done over it. The barrels were cut back from 30" to 27" and the barrels were blued. The only reason I bought it was I got the shop down to $300.
I sent the barrels to Dale and they came back looking very nice indeed. There was never again a question of what had been done to the barrels.

Bill and others ,I don't disagree the gun has issues and like I said , I know nothing about the seller and what he knows and doesn't know but how many times on GB do we see these same kind of things or worse and the price is two to three times the sellers starting price ! Looks to me if you didn't have the 5 G's for a nice D Grade ,it could work for you providing it is a functioning gun !

Bill Murphy 10-19-2017 06:14 PM

Yeah, at about $300.00.
