Default Serial number check

Walked into a pawn shop today and saw a gun for sale # 92234. It's got some wear and tear on it. Stock is a disaster but mostly worried about some exterior pitting may be too deep. Anyway curious what the book says. It would be a project, just afraid it would be too much of a project.

Curious what yall think of the gun, as I said the stock is in bad shape and the barrels are pitted.

Lol thx, haven't decided to get it for sure or not. Debating it. The barrels have me a little worried...but at $400 it might be worth risking it.

Nah, it's 2 quail looking back. It has flying turnips on the other side and a looking back pair of pheasants on the bottom. Although they do have it labeled as a DH incorrectly. I tried to argue them down, but they say restaurants will pay that much just to hang them on the wall.

Unless he is practically giving you the gun, it is best to let that one lie.

Parts have to come from somewhere.
