I finally received my GH today and happy to report I'm very pleased with it. Less pleased with the buyer's premium, sales tax, transfer fees, shipping .... All that made a $1300 purchase into an $1800 purchase, but oh well. The barrels are in great shape, ring well, and shiny bores. The right barrel has .007" constriction and the left has .021". The wood looks great and the butt stock is serial numbered to the gun, something I was a little concerned about. Hate to say it, but Winplumber was correct about the crack, but it seems solid. Not going to let that dampen my enthusiasm today. Later maybe, but not today. It weighs 6.5 lbs and the stock dimensions are 14 1/4" lop, 1 1/2" dac, and 2 3/8" dah. Comes up nicely for me. Checkering is crisp, but don't know if it's been redone. Looks good to me, but I'm not a stick-up-my-arse elitist. Fits nicely, along with my 26" DHE 20 gauge, in my Holland & Holland leather motor case. Looking forward to trying it out!
