David, another couple of questions…
Have you ordered a research letter yet? On legitimate trap guns like yours there is often some pretty interesting and sometimes important provenance.
Also, on looking more closely as your forend there appears to be a longitudinal crack on the left side from the screwhead back for a couple of inches… if it is a crack it should be repaired by a professional. Some can make it disappear entirely. Such cracks or splits usually get worse if not addressed early on.
