That gun that Bob Brown has linked here has a couple of 'warts' but has a LOT of appealing features - like a Miller selective trigger, ejectors, an original ventilated rib, and a screaming piece of wood. It would take a bit of work and a couple of $K but it could be made into a really nice gun.... although it will never be a "C".
The original barrels were 30" Damascus so the 'donor' barrels must have come from a vent-rib gun with 28" F/F chokes.... if we can believe the description's accuracy on the chokes.
Is that Claro or some really nice Circassian?
