VH 20 cut barrel

[Bruce Day]

Steve Barnett has a nice little VH 20/26 for $2950. Still more than Don's but it has been repeatedly established here that nobody acquires guns as inexpensively as Don. Don has the knack somehow.

I'm just glad to be out of the market, but I do have a long list of wanteds for friends if I run across decent guns. Let's see now, how many on the list for 16 and 20 ga hammer guns?

To wrap up, I got a return authorization from Lou today and he'll have it back in hand next week. As expected, no problem.

It is a delightful, tight little gun, and probably a fair value and one that I would like to have been able to keep but just couldn't. No harm done.

While we're on the subject, the barrels were refinished as expected from their pictures. The finish seemed to be more of a satin black than a rust blued type. Is that a different technique?
