16 ga Lifter

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

I finally received my 16 ga lifter. Besides having the bbls cut by 2 inches, the stock was also shorten. The LOP is now 13 inches even and the DAH is 3-1/2.
The chokes are no longer full, using my chipo gauge the chokes are cyl/Icyl.
There's some interesting numbers on the bbls and the letter M. I can't wait to hear what they're about.The bores are a little rough and she's missing some wood on the toe but she locks up tighter that a bank vault at midnight. For 131 years old I think she's a beauty!
One thing I would like to know. Why it cost 15.00 less two years later? It seems they did more work the second time they sold it.
Do you guys think she qualifies to be in the Parkers Found pages? Could these be the earliest documented factory cut bbls??
