I don't see how if the description about the bores is accurate. Pretty weak pictures, but the wood looks solid and those dents should be removed pretty easily. $475 for the gun, $30 to ship, and my FFL charges $25.

So here is what I was thinking...
Do the barrels ring? Wasn't waiting to ask, but a loose rib will lead to buyer's remorse.
Have the barrels been cut? With one barrel at full choke that would appear unlikely.
Are the barrels pitted? Maybe. The seller says they are shiny, but I've seen pitted bores shine.
Wood doesn't look to be cracked, but there is a chip at the toe. I'm hoping "honest wear" doesn't include any cracks.

Looks like a pretty good shooter for the price to me. That's the opinion of the rookie. Now let's hear from the experts regarding what I'm not seeing. I bought this after thinking about it for all of 30 seconds.
