Yes, I've been watching that one daily. What an upland gun that would be . . . for a twelve-bore enthusiast. Very, very nice!

Nice AH, too bad it has a pad, darn it. But it is a very nicely engraved gun. Where is the drool bucket?

I've been watching that A grade out of curiosity also. Looks like the bbls have been reblued and maybe the chokes opened, which seems odd considering how good the receiver looks. Nice colors and a beautiful job of engraving! I'd have it out in the grouse woods in a heartbeat...

Time to sell one of those gold prospects and get yourself a new Parker Rich!

Could those barrels be cut? Did anyone get the sereal number?

Bob, Funny thing here the gun is in the "Serialization Book as a B grade with ejectors and 30 " barrels. The gun is being advertised as an A with 28" barrels.
Don,t know..But the book has been wrong before.

I looked and drooled but had the very same question. From reading on these forums, as I understand it, the barrels should be touching or almost touching when viewed straight on. These are quite separated in that view. Again, nice to look at and thanks.

The letter may give us a hint. Obviously the stock books show 30" barrels, but the order book may give a clearer picture. Where is the T on the barrel flat?

Bill: What would the T designate? There's a "+" mark on each barrel flat; shouldn't they designate tight chokes? If so, the current chokes as stated would support honing and/or cutting of the barrels. The picture of the muzzle is too fuzzy to see if they touch; if they don't, it isn't by much. I sent that nice 26" Lindgren Daly I got back because the bbls had been cut, which they hadn't noticed and I wasn't told of.

Dave, I don't know the serial number so I didn't come to any conclusions, I like others saw the choke configuration as being a little sceptical.

What I see in the barrel end pic. is lack of keels.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be a proud owner, I could find a use for that open choked gun.
