Unfortunately when dismantling for shipment one of the ejectors fired and won't re-set so I can't attach the forend until I get it fixed but here are some pics:

Gorgeous! Serious drool here, love 20s and that's a REAL nice one....AND, as Dean said, very rare on a #1 frame. Can't wait to get that one to the field I'll bet. Is the ejector damaged or just tripped? Seems like I have seen conversation here on that subject and there is a "manipulation' to reset other than the operation of the gun.

I can’t see the engraving well, but it looks to be a latter gun, yes?

It’s not catching when you push it back. Something is out of wack. Unfortunately lots of parts in there.

I'd be willing to bet serious coin that your 30" 1-frame 20 gauge with those 3" chambers are original and likely to letter as such. Have you got a Research Letter on it yet?

You might even discover it was shipped to California.

That’d be awesome Dean but the seller indicated the research letter indicated something other than 3” but I don’t remember if it was 2 5/8 or 2 7/8”.

Mine is a 32" DHE 20 on a 1 frame with 2 7/8" chambers as per the letter.

2 7/8" is considered to be for 3" shells.

I recommend you order a letter.
