Default New Acquisition

Got a gun in today I bought from an auction in Long Island NY . Gun was advertised as a DH 10 gauge with 34” barrels . So me being the 10 gauge aficionado I seem to have become I looked at it closer . The wrist looked awful fat in the pictures so I’m thinking #6 frame 10 . When I got home I looked it up in the serialization book and was surprised to see it shown as an 8 gauge . So the following day I called the auction house talked with the auctioneer himself and asked a bunch of questions . On face , tight , rang true , 6 on the bottom of the barrel lug . So after I got off the phone I ordered a letter from the Chuckster . Letter arrived and all matched up with NO mention of 10 gauge replacement barrels . So for the last seven days I’ve been sweating this one getting here and turning out to be as listed a 10 gauge . And as fate would have it my original thoughts that it just might turn out to actually be an 8 came true . Eighteen months ago I had no 8 gauge now there are four in my somewhat modest accumulation .
