Just when you think you've heard it all! That would be cool to shoot.

Looks like the long barrel gun might be a G-grade, not a GH-grade.

Correct my goof. There will be better pictures with close ups posted on the California side by side website soon. Some more great news is that Dave Feline is progressing well on using his left eye to shoot right handed with his own design of sight added to his barrels.

Good god! That must be the one taking up 3/4 of the table?

Seen a 40.5" 8g, but a 12g is very interesting.

Do you recall if the top rib was matted or not?

40-1/2"?? I'd be suspicious that they'd been cut down from 46"...!

Brian,
I did not notice but hopefully there will be close up photos to clear things up. The gentleman that owns these was apparently friends with Larry L. Baer

Being a hammer gun, it would depend on the serial number. But... I was asking because the other 40.5" barreled gun that I know of is a hammerless and the rib is not matted. I figure that the Parker matting machine could
Not handle that length of rib.

This hammer gun could be made before they were starting to matte ribs.
