Advice before buying
I need some advise before I go further in this transaction. I was at a gun show today here in Fayetteville , Ar . I spied a Ph grade 16 ga two barreled set. The serial number is 71711 . It was on a O frame and it had a 28 in Damascus and according to the dealer a 30 in fluid steel barreled set ( more about the fluid steel later ) . I will try and post some pic's but I took them from my Iphone and I am not sure how to do it.
The gun seller wanted $3500. obo for the set. I am not as gun savey as about 90 % of this forum but I would have rated the condition as fair to good , more to the side of fair. It had some dings ( not dents) on both barrels and the stock needed a good cleaning at the very least .The dealer thought this gun was made in the 1880 , but I didn't think he was correct. The barrel that he had listed as a fluid steel had twist steel stamped on the barrel rib ? It looked like a sound 16 ga but I thought $3500. was a bit much. I have seen such a set in the $2500. to $2700. range on Gunbroker and Gunsamerica . What are the forum's thoughts .I would like a good 16 ga set and this one could be it , but I want some comments before I go forward. Thanks Jack
