I own one of the few listed and lettered D grade 24’s, mine is 20ga. I like it and use it a lot on ruffed grouse and quail. Many people believe that a 24 is too short for them, but not for me.

If you are looking at a costly gun I sure would want to make sure the barrels are not just chopped off , or account for it in cost. It would be very difficult to find another set of 28 ga
barrels.

I felt that this was the subject gun that was posted about.

I inspected it closely at the southern. It is very nicely done in nearly all respects. The only thing about it that was a red flag to me was the forend tip... It is from a LEFEVER.

It only has one bead around the bolsters

Which would be correct for a 28g.

what I was alluding to was the correctness of that detail, where so many upgrades, and 'replicas' have two and three beads. Pachmayr is one I recall.
