The only minor issue with this gun is related to ejector timing / setting:  the left barrel ejector trips, therefore ejecting every time, even though that barrel is not fired.  The owner wants to sell this gun and does not want to wait to get the issue fixed.  This is reflected in the reduced price.  The only reason he is selling this gun is that he lost his right eye's vision and cannot shot it well anymore.  He had the stock bent to get it with cast on, but it sprang back as a right handed gun.

This gun was made in 1896 and is therefore an antique for legal purposes.

Any questions are welcome and thank you.
