"There is no way anybody can fault Steve Barnett in this situation. He is a gun salesman, not a gunsmith and he is as honest as they come."
"Honest as they come"...LOL... that speaks volumes.
Remember - Steve is a dealer. That means when Steve buys a gun, he is an expert. When he sells one, he is just a schlump selling a gun. For all he knows, it might as well be a lawnmower or a lamp.
He probably is a reputable dealer - but I'm sure he uses the Veil of Ignorance to his benefit when it suits.

The London sidelock ejector gamegun was made to be shot.
...and they did so year after year with some proper up-keep.
These chaps just didn't hit the field in bib-over-alls, corn cobb pipes and a chipped-beef sandwich in the back pocket!
They paid for the best - and got the best.
Those who drag their heels at this, never spent seasons hunting 'em.

Gee, too much chapter 9 pp.63-72 from 'Lock, Stock, & Barrel' by Adams & Braden?

They say a Flodman O/U game gun can go 80k rounds w/o seening a gunsmith. There are others out there in used racks, but I want to purchase a few at LOW price,  so there is no need for me to give you boys heads up about them.  Going back to what OWD said, I wonder how many old continental guns are in service in say Sweden. A neutral country to which MANY were actually IMPORTED long ago.

There is a 12B Purdey hammergun on the new arrivals page at Williamlarkinmoore.com that might be worth a look.
Now there's a gun... http://www.williamlarkinmoore.com/images/P8102261.JPG

That is a beautiful gun, but I am looking for a hammerless gun. Ken

What about WLM's Purdey Pigeon Gun? A little overpriced, but full of condition and features. And built heavy for long use. I would buy it in a minute if I could use bad guns instead of cash to pay for it.

JoE, 123 year old gun with 89mm chambers and polished up bores.  Gee, do you think it's been re-proofed? Obviously not.
