Grade 1 with Damascus Barrels

[Jay Oliver]

I did have an orphan set of #2 frame 12 gauge barrels that fit this gun fairly well. They are the second set from a gun in the 14,000 range and have the wedge forend. I just read another post on this forum about being careful of the fit of different barrels. These seem 90-95% percent there. The right barrel is slightly high.

The bores on these are very nice with almost no pitting. The outside is rough on both the barrels and the forend. I will get these fitted properly at some point.

Nice gun Jay, I really like the lifters and never understood why PB abandoned that design as it was ergonomically friendly. But, being a lefty the top lever is easier to operate with my left thumb pushing it but still prefer the lifter.

I was watching that one like a hawk and was badly tempted to break the gun moratorium but thankfully saw you had bid on it. Great catch! Looks to me like a grade 2, but could be wrong
