Sorry guys.... That gun landed at my FFL this morning. It is as good as it looks. I bought it as a shooter and it fits that quality more then good

I lost most of what I wrote but suffice it to say the gun is in great restored condition. The only two things I found were a burr on the engraving on the long trigger guard tang and the forearm latch needs a bit of coaxing to get it fully closed down. I suspect some judicious file work can fix that. As to the case colors I believe it to be bone charcoal as I do not see any of that bright yellow that ya get from cyanide. All in all its looks great as a shooter and thats what I bought it for.

I will take it to the trap club on Tuesday

That's great! Maybe consider posting about it?

I will as soon as I get hands on it and shoot it a bit. Its in "jail" right now (Illinois three day wait). I could get it Monday but will pick it up Tuesday on my way to the trap club. Now I need to go out to my ammo pile and find some ammo for it.
