Fin- and others- thanks for the info- I am not gonna buy it, even if it were at $250-just curious. I think you are right about the barrels being 26"_ I picked it up a few times, but didn't measure the barrels- Owner said it's $550 in his shop to anyone, or it stays on the rack. Walnut stocks-not checkered, black buttplate, I would rate wood and blue as 99%- both bores minty- he said it has 3" and in his opinion, the Stevens made for the Sears J.C. Higgins trade name were better fitted and finished- when did Sears stop selling shotguns and rifles in their catalogs? My guess is 1968 era-anyone know- and if anyone wants to contact Brad about this shotgun, let me know and I'll send along his phone number- did the same thing a few weeks ago for a gent on this BBS in PA-re: some M42's I saw in another gun shop. I like they way small gauges look and handle-but I'll stay with my 12's!!
