Boys,

I dont think any of us missed anything. I had a long talk with the gunshop owner and he sent me several pictures, about twenty total.
The barrels seem to have had several issues from what I could make out.
Did you guys notice the large welds at the breach end on either side of the rib. Definitely not the best rib job. She also had alot of pitting down between the barrels esp along the left barrel.
Definitely a interesting gun. A 34" no safety, double trigger, extractor gun is always going to grab my interest. The only thing better would had she been a #3 frame with heavy barrels.
Also the stock had some issues. All in all I think she can be resurected and hope she found a good home to someone who can fix her up right.
The 34" guns are special, something magical about them.
