Definitely worth further investigation! If he won’t provide better more detailed pictures of this area I would steer far away from it… especially with no possibility of returning the gun.

Expanding the photo from Deans post it looks like a rib problem and an attempt to add filler to a gap of some sort.

Okay fellas , I put this gun om my watch list the day it was listed and I have never had any dealings with this seller but just a Heads Up ,there are now two of these listed on his site ,but they sure look like the same gun to me ! If you look up Gun Broker Item # 969657115 you will see it has seven days left , then if you look up item# 969167948 you will see it has 4 days left but both guns have the same flaw in the bottom rib !!!! Is it just me or is something fishy about this auction ????

I would steer away for sure. While his ratings show as being good, if you deep dive you will find some bad ones.

I saw the gun from my original post today. The “case coloring” is mostly worn off the receiver and on the forearm latch. The stock has marks from handling/hunting and one fairly deep nick near the stock oval. The finish on the buttstock is “rippled” for lack of a better term. The underlying wood appears to be burl and may have shrunken/changed shape over time.
Otherwise very nice. Long barrels are choked f/m, short barrels m/ic. Stock is 14.25, 1.5, 2.25. With a slip on pad it fits me well enough. I’m kind of inclined to pass. What would case coloring from Turnbull cost, approximately? Does anyone know if the stock finish could be improved without completely stripping? All ideas welcome! |
