serial #114104, 12 ga., 30'' barrels choked modified and full with otherwise bright excellent bores for about half their length, the front half showing heavy pitting. The barrels retain about 92-95% fading original blue, the loss being even fading, a few areas of light wear to pewter and some sparsely scattered oxidation staining. The frame retains a similar amount of original color case-hardening, showing wear to pewter on the carry point of the belly of the frame and at the fences, with overall light oxidation staining, but the colors remaining quite vibrant left and right. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates excellent and is a quality replacement, the Fox gripcap has been reinstalled, the wood however quite proud around its periphery, its checkering is sharp and it is very nicely done. The splinter forend is original equipment and rates excellent as well, as professionally refinished, the metal being slightly proud, the checkering pointed-up. Length of pull to the grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/2'' with drops of 1 5/8'' and 2 5/8''. The gun locks up tightly on face and features double triggers, extractor and automatic safety. Once the bores are inspected, this is likely a very good candidate for the marsh and some ducks over dekes. (39771-28) {C&R} (500/700)
