This gun does not appear to have any mechanical problems. the hammers have strong springs, the firing pins move freely and the springs for the firing pins are doing their job. the triggers break crisp but feel a bit heavy to me. the only rust on this gun is on the bottom of the trigger guard. they are 30" barrells but how to tell if they are cut is something I cannot detect. A prior poster stated that in his opinion judging by the pictures they were not cut. I will be out near the store again tomorrow and can measure the bores, there is not much else I can do. what I do not like about the gun is the bluing that was applied to the barrells. However, I do not detect any problem with the solder between the ribs and the barrells ring like a bell. I would prefer the look of the twist barrells. to remove the blueing from what i understnd is quite a task. How long does it take to get a response for a letter on a gun?
