I sent a PM to the guy asking if he would send me the serial number so I could confirm the length of the barrels. He responded that since there was choke in the barrels they have not been cut. I then ask if he would post pictures of the end of the rib and the front of the barrels....no response.

The receiver looks a little rough to me as do the barrels, regardless of whether or not they have been cut. I'm thinking he has $1,000 in parts, not a $1,500 "bird gun."

Well, my money is staying in my pocket then. I noticed he was careful not to post the serial number in the pictures and now he won't address a direct question. Think there's a message there.

I don't see the value in it for $1500 even if he threw in the "exhibition" wood. The barrels are lightly pitted and it will cost at least $3000 for someone to stock it, now you have $4500 in a restocked VH with other questionable properties.
