....must be getting lenient with their restrictions on firearms!

There are no locks, so it is parts, and they have been allowing parts for a while.

That said -I doubt they understand the difference and if they get a complaint they will pull it

Bidding is already up to $560. Serial number is 50421. I wonder what grade it is.

Looks like a grade 2, but the buyers are bidding on the three lug 20 gauge barrels which would be worth a fortune if they are any good.

this bidding could be interesting..im looking but its over my head... charlie

S/N is not listed in the book. Fingers crossed that it is actually a 20.

The ad is gone. Says something like "Seller stopped auction as item is no longer available."

A research letter would be a good idea.

Someone made him an offer he couldn't resist!

The barrels were not what they were advertised to be.

It isn't. It's a 16 and cut down from 32"

It's back up as a 16 ga.

16 :shock: Angel -dont look

Edgar, did you get the 32" information from our reseacher or from the seller?

Edgar didn't get the info from me. My post was a hint that it wasn't what it was reported to be.

I was bidding against another PGCA member (unknowingly, but not surprising) who got the info from Chuck. The Seller contacted me to say he had cancelled the auction, that they were, as I suspected, 16 gauge, and cut down.

I learned the information from a bidder (PGCA Member) who contacted the seller with specific questions.

When people make the decision to chop their barrels, why can't they cut them a little over, instead of a little under?

The operative word being IF
 

while my heart rate was still elevated, I made a fairly thorough scan of the serialization book. IF that gun had, in fact, turned out to be a 20gauge, it would have been the 5th Grade 2 20 gauge, the 8th Top Lever 20 gauge, and among the first dozen 20 gauge guns. Only if..............

IF is the operative word

You've heard the old saying "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
