What was the rust like, Dean. Did it seem to be badly pitted metal or more surface rust that might clean up OK? The wood looked pretty good in the pictures. The ad said chokes were MOD and Full, I guessed they missed on that a bit!

Just surface rust but in the pictures it looked horrible... well, in hand it looked horrible too, but I could see that most of it was just "blossoms" of rust and would be easily cleaned. What a gun!!!
