Something seems off about this grade 5 10 ga

[Milton C Starr]

So I was scrolling though GI and saw this perhaps could be a interesting project gun (not for me) those chambers seem a bit off though?

Does this look like its been restored ? kind of odd though if it was and they didnt bother to fix the barrels.

What a shame! That was a nice gun at one time.

Are the barrels numbered to the gun?

That $1500 isn’t a bad price for the basis of a project gun. What’s the serial number? Might answer the chamber length question (though I doubt it). Were pheasants even legal game when that gun was made? It looks like that pheasant may have been added sometime later?

The seller says “a bit off face”… boy I’ll say it is!!!

I agree, Dean. Definitely a different engraver on that non-Parker looking pheasant.

Maybe Mills can bring this one back...or Millton.

That really is a damn shame. The price is attractive, and it would have been a steal if it was before whoever got their hands on it. Though it may still be attractive to some at that price point, the damage has been done in many ways and it would be a money pit to try and put it right again.

And that pheasant is just hideous.

Whenever I think of doing a project and start looking at the $$$ I say to myself eh I could buy another 8 gauge for that. Im kind of a odd one out as I prefer the minimal engraving on the grade 1s and 0s although the sculpted bolsters on the higher grade guns are beautiful.

I think the D 12 hammer gun they have listed has had the same person working on it but not a bad looking gun for the money

Hopefully the chamber length is a typo or mistake. The pheasant looks all wrong.
