After checking forum rules about discussing guns for sale, you could give us a link to a gun for sale on an internet site, or post pictures. I think most of us are aware of 16 gauge skeet guns on internet gun sites. Blue Collar has given you miserable advice when he said "Be a risk taker". With good advice and a mentor, you need not take risks. He also suggests you should have enough funds to financially take a hit on a bad purchase. What a bad piece of advice. Big Friend Ten warns you that a famous gunsmith builds skeet guns from guns that were not skeet guns. That is true, but that famous gunsmith has never touched 240,403. The mentioned gunsmith builds nice guns. 240,403 has a forend that was probably made using a hatchet. The forend did not come from the factory or from Del Grego's shop. Big Friend Ten oddly did not name the gunsmith he alludes to. It is Larry Del Grego and Son, Ilion, New York, a firm that will freely admit that they have built skeet guns, as well as A-1 Specials and many other guns that did not leave the factory in the configuration in which they now exist. One thing you will learn quickly is that you are unlikely to purchase a gun like 240,403 at the original bid that is asked. The gun will have a reserve and the reserve will probably be a figure that would be more than an experienced Parker collector would pay. I hope this helps you make a decision.
