On the surface it appears to be in very good shape, screws have been turned and may be in the wrong holes as they are not indexed. Frame size on 10ga guns is something people would want to know. It stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug nearest the breech. Could be 2, 3, 4 or 5. You have to take the barrels off the gun to see it.

I'm afraid I'll screw something up if I try to take the barrels off. Last thing I want to do is ruin a beautiful shotgun. I'll see if I can find a local gunsmith that knows what they're doing. Thank you so much for the info!

Understood, always best to play it safe. Do you have a scale, how much does it weigh?

My only scale is my bathroom scale. According to it, it weighs 9.2 lbs. I don't fully trust that number, but it should be in the ballpark.

Check your private messages, I sent a little more info on your gun.

Andrew, where do you live? You are better to have one of our members take your gun apart rather than a local gunsmith. Many local gunsmiths do not know which end the shot comes out, and may damage your gun.
