It seems to be full closed. It snaps closed like my K80 which is what I noticed when I first handled it and raised my suspicion that it had been tightened up.
I'm fairly knowledgeable with regard to used guns; just retired from 20+ years in the industry including buying and selling thousands of vintage guns, however the one thing I'm absolutely sure of is you learn something new every day when it comes to vintage guns, and there are always people, or in the case of this forum, groups of people who know more about specific guns.
I'm a shooter, not a collector. With regard to this specific gun I'm deciding if I wan't make some small modifications like open the chokes a little and shoot it for SXS sporting clays. Or is it original and unique enough that it it shouldn't be messed with. I have other guns and vintage SxSs I also shoot for sporting so it would never be pounded with 10K shells a year.
