The barrels also look hot blued to me.

Well guys, after some consideration, I offered $2,000 for the 20 gauge DHE with cut barrels, after withdrawing my original offer, and the seller took it. Not a collector, but skeleton butt plate, original but refinished stock, Miller trigger and after market beavertail forearm. No case colors. Who knows, once I get to pattern the cut barrels it may not be so bad. I feel I got a good deal. What do you think? Did I do OK? Much better than $5,000.

Listen, if it patterns to your likings d it fits you and you shoot it well then ok you got a deal if not at that price, pass it on down the road and you won’t get hurt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good luck and please keep us informed

Thomas, I hope you get the gun in, find it to your liking, and it patterns well for your needs. Edgar's right, if you like it, shoot it. If you decide it's just not to your liking, you aren't in so deep you can't get out, or you may decide (like myself and others)that while it's not ever going to be a perfect "letter" gun, it's just a personal treasure and worth spending some money adding a barrel set or some other work. Enjoy and good shooting!

Follow up report on My 20 gauge DHE with cut barrels. I used 1oz 71/2 shot at 40 yards and the right barrel patterned shy of 40% and the left pattered at just under 45%. When I shot at 25 yards, obvious improvement with right barrel pattering at close to Skeet and the left barrel Improved Cylinder. I am very pleased with the results. Also noticed a Remington Repair Code PNN3 and a weep hole in front of the barrel lug. There is no reference to any repairs in my Research Letter, could the repair code be for reblued barrels? Just a thought. Tom
