GHE 16 gauge w/32" Barrels

Steve Barnett just listed one if anyone wants to take a look. I have no interest in the gun, but everyone seems to be all about 32" barrels so here you go:

FYI... the barrels and trigger guard have been re-blued on that gun. And the forend metal has been incorrectly re-blued. Checkering has been butchered up as bit too, especially on the forend.

I don't see any blueing on the forend latch, maybe I'm missing something.

I think he was referring to the fore end iron. It appears the fore end latch and escrutchen and trigger guard were cold blued at some point. A nice gun but price point too high for all the corrections needed. JMHO

The latch, tip and iron are blued.

In a couple of the shots of the forend latch it looked worn like the receiver. I must be missing something I agree with the rest.
