The safety has been removed and slot filled I do not think it was ordered that way , For the single trigger not sure about that either.

I appreciate your response about the fore end Eric. All I can say is the wood matches the stock (I'm a woodworker and know wood) and the serial # is embossed similarly and accurately as the rest of the shotgun, and it fits like a glove (not OJ's). Perhaps you know something that I haven't observed and I'm open to being shown if wrong.

As for the safety response, I've felt from the start that there should be a safety and will explore that more. I have my doubts that it was never there and will be pursuing information from the research area of PGCA.

Thank you both for your responses.

Here are the requested photos of the bore and a better shot of the fore end serial #.
