Gary, That is a 26" Grade 2, lightened 0 frame. It's in superb condition. I also have the 'Gun From Hell', a 30" Grade 2. That's the one Chris restocked to high dimensions and Brad did the case hardening and barrels. That's also an 0 frame. I have another lightened 0 frame 16, but I can't remember much about it. Think it's an0 grade 26" twist.

No Edgar - what's wrong with your memory? It has 24" Twist barrels, a true ball grip, lightened 0-frame, and with no choke is murder on clays out to 45 yards or better.... oh, and it has a woodcock engraved on the trigger guard bow... but it's not really yours.... yet.

Default I bought this gun!
I almost hate to post this after losing many absentee bids, but I bought this gun at the recent RIAC sale. The book has it listed with a capped pistol grip. The straight grip has the long tang and the correct serial number engraved on it along with some other no. 2 quality engraving. I suspect it's not original and will seek a letter on it. I bought another 16 no. 2 quality from RIAC two years ago. When I got my newest treasure home I was stunned to find they are consecutively numbered!!
