I have to admit that I am embarrassed. I handled the GB gun on Sunday afternoon and I didn't pick up on the serial #. Star struck, perhaps? Reflecting on it, the receiver didn't fit in the case as it should have. You can see in the photos that there are wine corks holding the receiver in place and looking at the case, it's large for a 28 ga. Perhaps the case actually is actually for a 12?
Regardless, it's a very nice gun and will serve the new owner well. In terms of practicality, with 28" Q1/Q2 and 28" IC/IM, I'm not sure anyone would need another gun for grouse and woodcock.
