Tony. Interesting piece; no dolls head rib extensions on either barrels. Worst Case hardening colors I've ever seen. I think there was a lot more to the "story" than what the listing said. Something like " If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
I'd sure like to know what it originally was, as it was pretty interesting engraving.

Should make for an interesting PGCA letter.

I think the letter will be quite different from the gun. There are only two 20ga Grade 4 guns, neither of which had straight stocks, in the entire 91,000 range.
I was actually going to run over there to have a look, but his new hours are only Thursdays and Fridays.
I think the neatest part of the whole gun was the lack of dolls heads. I blew up the pictures and am able to see the fill in slot in the receiver, pre engraving. The breech end termination of the rib looks correct, so I'm also thinking monoblocked.

It is a unique gun and I certainly had my eye on it too. In fact, I was just about to go on that link and make my move but then a guy I used to call a friend told me not to bother......
It has been restocked and probably a new forend too... case colors are... (ahem)... not what we would call "factory correct" so, like my (former) friend told me, "it will certainly be a 'project' gun."

Since the gun appears to be sold now, I am curious to know if the purchaser took advantage of the 3 day inspection period or if it was even offered.

I wonder if the buyer will share the letter, when he gets it.

Gun was posted on gunsinternational late last week thru yesterday. Deans post refers to the gun as a project gun but I find it misleading to call it a project gun. To the members who missed it, you wouldn't be disappointed had you had the chance to view it.
