Bob probably started this thread to flush me out. He knew I couldn't resist. The Lovely Linda owns a DHE 26" gun with touching tubes at the muzzle that was originally a 30" gun. That particular gun has taught me to ignore touching tubes as a sign of originality. We buy letters, measure bores and chokes, and look at rib ends with lots of skepticism and high magnification. I said I thought it was a great gun, but not original. The price reflects that. However, as I said in my first post, I think the rib end looks terrible, at least in the pictures.
