I also asked for a better picture & for him to clean off the dried grease/rust/or dirt from the serial number area so I could better evaluate the stamping. He sent me the same picture with the crud on it. I emailed him back again asking for a better picture with the crud cleaned off. He never responded back. Also, if you look at picture #4 you can see chips of finish & wood missing where the buttstock bottom meets the receiver & the forearm meets the metal at the receiver end. Looking very closely the stamping on the right barrel & bluing discoloring doesn't look quite right. I have a feeling this was originally a mod choke & possible at the factory they may have removed the MOD stamp, opened up the barrel, & restamped IMP CYL. Before I'd consider buying I'd want to see this area cleaned up, chokes measured. The description this guy is giving seems a little embellished to me.
