Yes, I was, the receiver is a #2 frame serial number 6527. Research shows it was a 12 ga made in 1875 underlifter 30" barrels. The butt stock matches the receiver and trigger guard. The barrels and forend serial numbers are 6410 which according to records was a 10 ga 30". Sadly, the rib is shot and the barrels have been cut (rather hack job) to 26 3/4" So again my question is: is this a total mis-match or would (after restoration) one be able to fire this? I trying to weigh my options with this (restore, cannibalize for parts, wall hanger in my office, trading material, as my youngest son needs to be out fitted. His brother shoots an Ithaca Flues 20. I have a beautiful VH 16, but in too nice a condition for a 12 year old . Any info would be great.
