I don't know how the seller can give a barrel condition report if he doesn't own a bore micrometer or wall thickness gauge. He is a pistol dealer with supposedly no shotgun experience. I wish I were closer so I could help him out with the proper tools.

Me too Bill...Has stalled my enthusiasm for this gun.

Far be it for me to shay away from a "project" gun, but this one has moved from risk to folly unless some viable barrel data materializes and quick.

Otherwise I hope that whomever gets it doesn't get burned!

The heart wants what the heart wants. If the successful bidder decides to restore this grand old girl to her former glory, I hope we get the opportunity to view her.

Not to restore this potentially beautiful gun would be shirking one's responsibility IMO.

It appears Jeff Wemmer (posts above) was the successful bidder. I hope Mr. Wemmer joins the PGCA and keeps us posted on the restoration. This is one heck of a hammergun. I’d love to see it in restored condition.

Sold Jeff Wemmer a WC Scott some time ago. He likes his hammer guns.

I thought it would go for a little more, A friend was bidding on it so I did not bid, Either way you look at it the gun is pretty rare and I hope the winner gets her back into her fancy dress, congrats to him, Gary
