Bill, I think the buyer may have been smitten with the Beavertail forearm, DT and Q1 and Q2 chokes. That combination is really hard to find. I have the same thing, but with the splinter forearm. Took me about 3 years of auction watching to find it. I did however pay far far less then what this gun sold for.
