Have had it in hand few days now looking and measuring. Records exist and have ordered a letter. Put a single layer of Scotch tape in the hook and she tightens up. Two layers is too much. Stock seems sound but repaired poorly.
Wall thickness is just under .040 both barrels. 26 inches just a trace of choke. Save the stock nothing is broken, everything is worn, only alteration I can see is cut stock and added pad. At first I thought the chokes had been opened up but now not sure. Separate post in the General Parker section on that topic. Figuring choke from pellet count.
If the gun is truly unaltered may not use it a lesson and take a more professional path to restoration. Or some hybrid approach. Photos pending the right light outdoors.
