Bill, it's a grade 3 10ga #3 frame. I think it had 30" barrels originally. Serial # 33475 from 1883.
Found it at the Tulsa gun show. It was just hacked sawed off at about 19 1/4" and not finished out. Made an offer on it and got it. I redid the end and filled the gaps with solder. Too bad it got cut but perhaps the barrels were damaged and someone decided to make it a coachgun. All matching numbers through out. I'm watching for replacement barrels if any one knows of some. |

and right now on the Clark's Classic bamboo rod board there is a post from a guy who found a 30" 16 Elsie in a LGS and wanted everyone's opinion on it as an upland gun.
one of the first bits of advice from someone (who would likely scream bloody murder if you altered a Leonard or Payne rod) was to cut it back to 27 or 28"
