The 30” fluid steel barrels, which are flawless, are choked Modified (.020) and Full (.035). It has 2-3/4” chambers, and the bores are bright. The wall thickness (top/side/bottom) for the right barrel at 9” from muzzle is .030/.030/.029 and at the middle of the barrel is .033/.029/.025; the left barrel is .032/.040/.035 and .032/.040/.032, respectively.

The gun weighs 8 lbs 2 oz. The drop at the comb is 1-1/2” and at the heel is 2-1/2”. Length of pull from the front trigger to the end of the butt pad, a period correct replacement, is 13-1/2”. The heel is cast off 1/8” for the right handed shooter. As is clear in the pictures, the engraving on the receiver is well preserved and the checkering is of fine quality. At some point in its history this gun was professionally restocked; given the quality of the wood, fine checkering, and type of finish most likely by the Reinhart Fajen Company.

The inspection period is 7 days from receipt by buyer. Seller has fired this shotgun using standard factory shells with both target and game loads.
