20 ga

Even though it may be a rare configuration, is not the price excessive for a gun with little condition and a probably non original butt treatment?

Ordering a 16/20 gun on a #2 frame, and then asking for it to be as light as possible makes me wonder why it wasn't ordered on a 1 or even 0 frame, if weight was the issue.

I wonder the same thing. Only the buyer knows what drove him/her to that price. Perhaps they have or know where the second set of barrels are. Or perhaps they just got caught up in the moment, which is why I avoid auctions.

The buyer wasn't the only one who found the price appealing. It takes at least two bidders to reach a selling price. As I suggested in an earlier post, the request for "light as can" refers to the 16 gauge barrels, not the 20s.
