Default Picture of a long one

Went up last Friday and got a chance to look over my 16 gauge Sterlingworth with 32" barrels I had mentioned earlier. Gun has some issues that will be addressed.

First is someone cut a small "V" in the top of the receiver so they could (I guess) shoot it like a rifle. V lines up perfectly with the end of the barrel bead. That will require the receiver to be micro-welded most likely, which will necessitate a bit of polishing, perhaps re-case coloring etc. etc. Anyway, I'll get all that figured out in due time. Still a very worthy gun. Barrels are choked at .036 and .031. Minimum barrel wall thickness is .39 and the gun has number 2 weight barrels. This be an unusual gun for sure. Anyway, still figuring at the next step, but while there I had Dan take the following picture of me. Also, that is my VHE in the background. Dan will be replacing the wear plate on that. Thankfully, the gun is still tight on face and the wear plate is an easy fix per Dan.
