I don't think I would have told you to walk away from Orphan Annie because choke was evident at the 27" level as I recall. Condition wasn't an issue, again, as I recall.

Bill, I honestly don't remember who all commented when I first asked for help here when I was considering Annie, but the consensus was that the barrel had been chopped, ergo probably no choke remained (I later disproved that and wrote about it in Parker pages) but as I recall everyone who did comment suggested I run - not walk - away. Agree that condition was some better than the example presented here. I'm not even advocating that James buy the gun; just pointing out that a gun needn't be perfect to be a nice shooter and a joy to own. In my meager collection, if I'd let every flaw chase me off, the collection would be MUCH smaller

For me, it has to fit me and be 'right'.

In the vein of "who is John Galt," who is "Bill Dudley?"
