Those American Gun Co guns aren't too expensive, but I seldom see one in good condition....I NEVER see one in good condition. They are round 100 years old and were heavily used.
But mine is a serviceable gun. It is a little loose, and the forearm wiggles some, but not so you'd notice. It is a great chukar gun. It is light as a feather.
I have several chukar guns. A model 37 Ithaca and wonder of wonders a very nice Winchester Model 59 (If there is such a thing.). Now I'm not a big fan of autos, but that 59 is also light and has a plastic barrel so if I drop it it's no big deal.
There are all kinds of warts on a model 59, but this one works okay. They made them with interchangeable chokes (the first to do so), but this one doesn't have it, but I did buy another barrel so I have a full and modified gun. I use the Modified barrel. Works okay for me and I don't mind using it in the rain.
