| Thanks Ted. And yes... $950 is absurdly high for what it is. Based on what I've seen elsewhere and the cost of fixing the stock, I would pick it up at a third of that maybe. Even then you never know w ... |

Thanks Ted, I thought that might have been the case based on the engraving looking different than I have seen on others.
I love this place, great info!
I may consider this if they adjust the p ... |

| Thanks Ted! Yes, the wood is in pretty rough shape. I am afraid this repair would be fairly expensive. Any thoughts on value or what you would offer for the gun? I don't think I'll buy it with that cr ... |

| While we are at it..... and I am no Darne guy, just trying to learn, does this look odd? I thought the Darne stocks were either one piece or two piece with a metal rib where this gap is. This appears ... |

Hey folks, what's your opinion? These are odd length (25.75"), don't seem to touch and have some solder issues. Think they've been cut?

I'd like to have a 16ga Nitro Special to go with my 20ga, but this one was out of my price range.
Same idea, same thought on the final price. I do love my little 20 though. |

Here's what you need:
If you see one in sub-gauge in that price, please let me know! I haven't ever seen a 16 or 20 in that price range yet.
