I'm interested to hear what the experts have to say about this. On a lighter note you could claim it is a Parker Paradox gun and question if this isn't "factory".

Sounds like yet another product of the garage gunsmith.
But a lot depends on your term "high grade." If it's a DH or above, it might be worth fixing. If the damage isn't too severe. And Kirk Merrington would be the only person I'd trust with the repair... which would cost about $1000 with reblack I'd guess. Maybe a bit more. The good news is that you can possibly use this flaw to get the gun cheap. |

Once you own the gun I would recommend you try to find another set of suitable barrels that can be properly fitted to the gun. I don't believe you'll ever be able to put choke back into the original barrels and still be able to shoot it for years to come.

Thanks guys
It's over I passed on it. The price was not discounted enough to take the gamble on this. And as was mentioned the barrels may never be right. Tom |

Yes, was it a dollar grade or a graded gun? Gary

It was a C, but considering the work to be done I don't think it was a bargain.

Too bad. C's are really nice. Shade tree gunsmiths should be hung.
