AH grade 6?

[NateHawley]

Looking for some info on a gun I'm looking at purchasing. Price is private, seller is private at this time. Looking to ensure there isn't anything wrong with the gun beyond what I see of a repaired stock.
No pitting or dents in barrel
barrels are 32"
gauge 10
action opens and locks fine
hammers both work as do firing pins

stock is cracked and repaired at handle

Looks like a proper Quality A (Grade 6) top-action hammer gun. If the barrels are sound, what is not to like?

There’s a 4 stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug ?

That appears to be a nice grade 6 hammer gun. It looks the wood is indeed the worst part, but I think it could be fixed with a hard to see repair by some of the better stock guys. I think it is possible that one of the hammers is a replacement although a period correct one. My guess the right hammer since that is the one that often breaks. The reason I think this is that the engraving is similar but not exact on the two and the checkering on the thumb pads is different shapes. Hardly worth fretting over though. I hope you get it!

Not many ever get a chance to buy a gun like that. They only made 34 AH top lever hammer guns.

Not an AH, but a wonderful gun. An AH would be a hammerless gun. Your new gun, I hope, needs a PGCA letter.
