Local gun show find.
Went to a small gun show yesterday and came across this interesting gun.Its a 1889 G grade 12 gauge,with 32 inch barrels.The barrels are in really nice shape,bores nice and shiny.My bore gauge says .760 in right bore and .758 in left with .039 constriction in right and .037 in left.Im thinking this is a brass case gun,as it has a 2 5/8 chamber with a sharp ledge at the end where the case would butt up against.The unstuck barrel weight is 5.4,and the gun weighs 9 lbs,1 oz.Its on a #2 frame.When I first spotted it I thought it was a 10 gauge.Its a hefty gun.As you can see by the photos it needs a little tune up.All the screws are buggered up.It has slight play when locked up but nothing to keep from shooting it.It has had the butt plate replaced,and has a small chip at the toe which I can fix easily.The worst news is it has a different forend from a V grade with a different serial number of course.It seems to fit well though.My plan is to get the screws replaced and possibly get it tightened up a bit.Maybe a new hinge pin would do it,and then just enjoy shooting it and hunting with it.Serial# 58288.
