quick question

[Tom Flanigan]

Thanks for your responses. I think the gun is right. I just got a bit of post purchase paranoia. It looks like an old unmolested gun. The screws are good and everything looks right. I'll do the barrels in black and white and do a light touch on the rest of the gun. I'll refresh the finish and touch up the checkering a bit and then put some color in the checking to make it look in line with an old gun.

If you hadn't bid I most likely would have but I recognized your name and refrained . I didn't see anything to be worried about on that gun . Looks like most the finish is gone but for a 135 year old gun what do you expect . And the price was right or atleast I thought it was . But like I said earlier if it had been a Grade 2 I most likely woulda made you pay more to get it .

I really appreciate that you didn't bid when you saw my name. You didn't have to do that but it was very nice of you.

I'll start the barrels as soon as I receive it. I'm anxious to see what the twist looks like.

Thanks to all who responded. I guess it was a stupid question and all I had to do was look at a forend latch to see the patent date but I didn't think of that.
