Description:
This side by side is a class C. It is chambered in 12 GA and has 28" barrels. The frame and side locks on this gun have turned pretty much an antique greyish coloration. The barrels are in fine condition with a greyish brown look. There are some patches of darker brown giving it a little bit of a blotchy look. Metal is relatively smooth. The bores on this Winchester shotgun are in very good plus condition with no pitting and possibly a little light roughness in the chamber area. The wood on this gun is very very good with no cracks around the lock plates. Forearm is also in exceptional condition with one very light hairline crack coming off the front of forearm. This is an exceptionally nice rare Winchester. A class C is very rarely seen. A Winchester double barrel shotgun is a must for any serious Winchester collector.
