I know this is an old thread but I just stumbled on it today and I registered with the site to add to the story concerning this EEO. I traded for the above 16 GA EEO around 35 years ago. When it arrived I was very disappointed to discover that the barrels had been refinished and looking down the outside of the barrels was akin to looking down a corduroy road. I suspect that is the reason for the non conforming barrel on it now. I sent the shotgun back and got the trade firearms returned to me. The next time I saw the shotgun was when I saw it in Charlie Semmers book. I talked to Charlie about it and he did not remember anything negative about the barrels. This same shotgun sold at the Butterfields auction in San Francisco for around $10,000 several years ago. I saw it also sold for about the same at another auction a couple of years later. I have often regretted not hanging onto it.
