serial #74256

[C.O.B.]

I'm wondering if anyone here has this gun. Its a GH 16 0 frame with 28 inch damascuss bbls. It was a two bbl set the other set being 32 inch damascuss and I have that set of barrels along with two forends.

[Pa SxS]

Do you have both forends or the #2 forend for the #2 set of barrels???

[C.O.B.]

Both

Hmmm... Let's see, I have 74443 a 16 ga. 0-frame, 74446 a 16 ga. 0-frame, 74625 a 16 ga. 0-frame but none of them are hammerless and the records do not indicate that any of them were made with two sets of barrels. I wonder if I could have those 32" barrels fitted to one of mine.

[Dean Romig]

Oh, I also have 76084 and it is a hammerless. What is the unstruck barrel weight of those thirty-two-inchers?

#74256 isn't listed in the serialization book but Chuck was kind enough to provide me the information I have shared.

Dean the anser to both questions is NO and I don't know the unstruck weight. The barrels are at Batchelders as I had the seller ship them to him for inspection and it just so happens I have a GH 16 0 frame with 28 inch damascuss barrels that the 32inchers will be fitted to. I hope to have it ready for Hausmanns.

(That's the best I could do.... I was looking for the emoticon giving a raspberry.)

I doubt the original gun will turn up so marrying those barrels to my gun is the next best thing. I wonder how many 32 inch damascuss 16ga barrels there were.
