Early High Grade

Miss out on one C grade but got this. Someone removed all blue from the barrels. The bores are great. I think the stock is a replacement but nevertheless an early high grade dollar grade.

What a great gun! Are you planning on having any work done to it?

Dean Romig 04-13-2015 12:30 PM

What a nice gun Travis!

That forend key is very unusual - please show us more pictures of it from various angles so we can see its profile better.

I really like that shooting scene engraving.

Nice find. A gun worthy of some "making it right again".

Buttstock is an incorrect replacement. Forend is original.

Dean Romig 04-13-2015 02:44 PM

Yup, very unusual (unique?) key.

It would be nice to see the complete buttstock - both sides - before passing judgement on its originality.

Yes indeed!! With the smoke cloud coming from the muzzles - a very nice touch!

Other side.

I think at least I will get the barrels refinished. There is information so I might get a letter also. Serial is 3870 with 32 in barrels. I will see after I get the letter if I get more work done.

Mills Morrison 04-13-2015 04:14 PM

I recommend Dale Edmonds for the barrels. His work will blow you away. Other good options include Brad Bachelder. I have personal experience with Dale

Brian Dudley 04-13-2015 08:30 PM

There is nothing about that stock by way of form or checkering that is correct for an early high grade lifter.

The fit looks pretty good though from what I see.
