Great price? Did they lower the price after it was returned once or more? Did they say there was a problem?

Bill I don’t know what G&H did, said or the price anyone else paid. If it’s important to you call them. All I know was my experience and my thoughts related to my purchase and return. I don’t appreciate the negativity or being questioned on my decisions.

Dennis, do these photos look familiar? Note the steel filled epoxy added to fill the gap in the muzzle where the solder has a void, and the sloppy job on the front bead. I took a close up of the engraving at the breech too since you mentioned it. The left barrel also had noticeable upturn to it toward the end, somewhat like a banana. It was noticeable when I looked down the side of the tube. The right barrel curved slightly too, but not as much. The gun is now in a box...

That left tube has been grossly honed. One would never expect to see such a thin medial wall. That can only come from honing. It would be impossible otherwise and it would never have left Meriden in that condition.

Dennis, I'm sorry I seem to have offended you. I certainly did not mean to. I am merely trying to find out whether G&H is intentionally sending out guns with known faults without mentioning those faults. We are all potential customers.

Dennis, that is indeed the serial number. Same gun. Thank you.

As a sidenote: The buttstock on the gun is also not right. It is either an old restock, OR more likely a refinished original. The shape of the cheeks and the comb are all wrong. And the checkering also completely incorrect. But it does look like it is the actual original stock that was just improperly reworked.
