Lots of cut barrels out there
Went to a auction about 2 years ago in the coastal area of Virginia. Had probably 7 doubles there. One Parker DH 20 gauge is what made me come, although there were several Fox doubles there. I was the only one in the crowd who came armed with a Skeet's gauge. I was the only one in the crowd who determined every gun there had cut barrels (except a Fox A grade 12 gauge). The fellow who had previously owned all of these guns was avid quail hunter with a good set of pointing dogs and had 6 of the 7 guns sawed off to remove choke. PS. I didn't even stay for the auction after determining that all the barrels had been cut although I should have stayed just to bid on the uncut Fox. In addition the 20 gauge DH had been restored as well. I also believe there was another member of the PGCA there from Va. Beach.
