Stock 14 1/2" - DAC - 1 3/8" DAH - 2 5/8"

Aside from the bluing, which was worn, the barrels were in great shape when I got the gun. No dents, pitting or rust on exterior. The bores are very clean with no pitting or corrosion.

Both barrels are marked 16/1 on the flats, both measure .671" nine inches from the breech and 9 inches from the muzzles with my Skeet's Bore Gauge. The bores are well in proof and internal measurements are very close to original based on the 16/1 proof stamps.

Mark Larson worked his usual magic on the stock and forearm. Mark removed a ventilated pad, spliced wood to replace the pad, refinished the stock and repaired and refinished the forearm. The wood looks new aside from a small chip off the finish on the toe of the stock and a couple of very small impressions.

Bill Schwarz, Ellijay GA, did great rust bluing on the barrels. He left the small lettering intact and the bluing looks new. Bill went through the internals & made sure the gun is nice & tight. It locks up tight with fore-end on or off - top lever to right.

Nothing was done on the receiver, same condition as when I bought it.

PM Sent. Thanks.

Do you still have it and does it have cast off.
