I asked him to wait a minute and went to the pick up truck and got several 10 gauge empty hulls and returned. He was shocked and a little upset when the truth was in his hands, they had paid a professional to appraise and describe the guns for the auction catalog. More than one of the several SXSs in the auction were described incorrectly. Good Shooting To You, Jent

Jent,
I had a similiar experience with this gun. It was presented as a 12 gauge by the seller and he did not want to hear my opinion that it was a 10.

thanks
Patrick

Harry, I love those .802 bores. No forcing cones to worry about. Bruce, I would love to see the letter on the CH 26" gun. Can you access it for pictures?
