i made a mistake the gun has vulcan barrels not acme the barrels and forend have the same numbers the rest of the gun has all the same numbers the letter i got with the gun says the barrels were probably added at the factory i'm just curious as to whether this adds or lessens the value of the gun it's a gh, engraved with a fishtail lever its real nice but has lost the case colors except in some areas
