Federal regulations in Canada dictate that "a shotgun not larger than number 10 gauge" for migratory birds.
Perhaps there was a time it was legal but not for quite a while...

SKB a review of the pics clearly shows the off-center under-lever. thanks. I've still not received anything from the seller - so nothing more on condition, length/condition of the barrels, address on the rib (I'm pretty sure it includes rue-Scribe), barrel flats, water table, proof marks, bore and chamber condition, etc; So unless someone calls Churchill, we're unlikely to know more. Still the photographs were pleasant.
For my information. what might be that discolored spot on the right barrel next to the fences?

I could be wrong, but it looks mightly like a bit of rust pitting to me.

Argo, I live a short distance from you. Maybe I could look at the Reilly and purchase it. I collect and shoot eight bores. Sorry, now I notice that you don't own the Reilly.

eightbore, I haven't called for the price and suspect being marketed by Churchill it won't be a bargain. Nevertheless, I might ring them up since there are elements of the gun which interest me historically (and I wouldn't mind owning a Reilly 8 bore if it's shootable but I'm not a collector). If it's within a decent price range, I'll let you know. I've been meaning to meet you one of these days anyway. I go out one every couple of weeks to Bull Run to shoot sporting clays when I'm in the country.

I find it amusing that you experts don't realize that a normal Jones lever gun "clicks" into place at its final closing. The Reilly has not "clicked" into place. Has absolutely nothing to do with fit or wear.

And just how many guns have you put back on face Murphy? If you been around the restoration game very long you learn to look for clues, I mention several. Being the expert you are, could you explain the gap at the forward portion of the through lump? No matter how far you push the lever, that gap is not going away. It is also a very good indication that the lock up has been worked on, and not very well. Notice the top rib is not flush to the action additionally. Do not let reality cloud your rose colored glasses.

Just a thought from an frequent observer of these posts on DGS.
As for myself I don't often post very often because I am by no means an expert in any field let alone guns although I do have some fine guns. I am confused in the opinion of so few control the topics and adverse opinions by others are at times attached.
THAT SAID: I am confused how the same opinioned experts embrace an English gun that yearly is gone over from stock to barrel and the FOX,SMITH,parker, etc are rejected for the simple reblue, stock finish etc. Just an observation. I hope Homeless never leaves he seems to be the only one that keeps the experts on their toes.This topic is a perfect example.
