Well, my backs getting sore from patting it so hard

Here is what I would do it it was mine.

1. Strip and clean the receiver getting as much crud out as possible. Check for proper operation.

2. The stock looks good at the base of the receiver but the top of the wood may be pulled away from the receiver and the top tang. Check for cracks under the sideplates and anywhere else around the head of the stock. A good stocker should be able to repair.

3. The barrels are the main concern if you want to shoot it. Send it to someone like Kearcher, Orlen, or Vicknair for inspection or repair.
We are having a big get together at Pintail Point on the eastern shore of MD Sept 25, 26, and 27 if you can make it.

Thanks so much for your help.

I would like to clear up some conflicting opinions.

Dean says it is a grade 2 or G gun and Bill says it is a grade 1?

Chuck, thanks for your advise from the beginning. I have fired both barrels and it works fine.

I cleaned it up some more and there was a small amount of pitting inside the right barrel and I used a barrel brush and oil and it took off the rust and polished up.
