A 32", 0-fame, 20 has got to be a very rare bird. I'm not saying I would want one, my 20/32/1-frame is a little barrel-heavy, but it would be a very cool gun.

You folks make a guy want to change his ways and get a longer barreled gun!

Randy, that gun of yours sounds like a very (very!) nice one.

It actually was a well used gun when I acquired it, thankfully at a price that I could justify having Brian clean it up and recut the checkering as it was well worn. Not a total refinish of the stock, the checkering wear will now look more appropriate for the age/condition of the gun. It had to be put back on face with some other issues corrected as well. It should be a fun one to shoot. As it stands now Brian hopes to deliver it at the Vintagers. Good place to have one delivered eh, lots of shooting opportunities there.

Yes, it is. The 32" 0 frame 20g that I have in right now for total restoration is a VH Straight grip safety delete gun. With a full comb and straight comb. 1-5/8" at both heel and toe. Letters exactly as it is.

It will be a real beauty when done.

Jay I have a BHE 32 inch straight grip 20 0n an O frame and it's very pleasant to shoot. I was surprised it's an O frame as it's factory chambered for 3 inch shells.

I'll have to go check the frame size on my GHE 32 inch vent rib 16 to see if it's a 1 or maybe a 1 1/2 frame.

Brian, the VH #2 frame 32" 20 wouldn't be my old serial number 153,333 would it? I have been searching for that gun for many years. Thanks for letting me know. Bill Murphy

No. It was not.

My search continues. However, I would be interested in any #2 frame 20.
