I think what Craig is saying is that Mr. Hunter choke tubed many of his guns, some of which are not visible on casual inspection. I purchased one gun for thousands of dollars and found when paying for it that invisible choke tubes had been installed. No mention was made of this and I drove hundreds of miles to find this out. Also many of his guns have had serious rust damage. I'm sure the Guyette staff will make every effort to identify these problems, if they exist. Craig is probably suggesting examining your purchases in person. Craig and I and other friends attended an earlier auction of Mr. Hunter's property and purchased guns. Lucky for us, Josh is running this auction, and we should not have the problems we had at the previous one. If Craig and I are out of line, Josh will let us know and we will delete these posts.

I make no mention of choke tubes . This was more a trigger thing .

Still an empty mailbox here in Missouri.
