Edgar and Brian are correct, I did own this gun for a short time but sold it on this site six years ago to another member. It was my belief that the first set of barrels were cut to 26'' possibly due to damage and a second 30'' set was ordered as per the letter. I seem to recall the barrel wedges were installed in the short barrels which could mean the work was done at the factory but it was not referenced in the letter so who knows. I have not seen the gun since the Turnbull restoration so if another member gets it hopefully, I will get to see it again someday.

I have no doubt many would take exception to this, but if it were my gun, I’d do away with both fore end irons, and return the gun to its original state, as an extractor gun. I don’t feel that the after-market ejector system adds any value to the gun.
