Action is tight and on face, ejectors work and are in time. Comes in period maker's oak and leather case with a newer maker's label showing the Cork St. address which likely was replaced when the barrels were reproved. Bores both measure .730 and the min. wall thickness is .029 and .028. All in all, a very lovely old Boss that has been well maintained by Boss over the decades. For those of you who like long LOP's, keep in mind that single trigger guns are measured from a "back" trigger position compared to double trigger guns. This is the same stock length that would measure 15" if it was a double trigger measurement.
