I don't know how the seller can give a barrel condition report if he doesn't own a bore micrometer or wall thickness gauge. He is a pistol dealer with supposedly no shotgun experience. I wish I were closer so I could help him out with the proper tools.

Me too Bill...Has stalled my enthusiasm for this gun.
Far be it for me to shay away from a "project" gun, but this one has moved from risk to folly unless some viable barrel data materializes and quick. Otherwise I hope that whomever gets it doesn't get burned! |

The heart wants what the heart wants. If the successful bidder decides to restore this grand old girl to her former glory, I hope we get the opportunity to view her.

Not to restore this potentially beautiful gun would be shirking one's responsibility IMO.

When completed the gun will look like a well cared for, yet well used vintage gun. However under the hood it will get the full mechanical overhaul to ensure another 121 years of reliable service. Of course all this is contingent on whether or not I just bought a wall hanger!  We'll see in a few days! Fingers X'd... |

It appears Jeff Wemmer (posts above) was the successful bidder. I hope Mr. Wemmer joins the PGCA and keeps us posted on the restoration. This is one heck of a hammergun. I’d love to see it in restored condition.

Sold Jeff Wemmer a WC Scott some time ago. He likes his hammer guns.
