I talked to Buck Hamlin this morning and I will be shipping it out Monday.

Thanks for the replies

I got good news from Mr. Hamlin. The barrels are in good condition. I am having him work his magic on the outside of the barrels while they are there. Thanks for the replies

Just another tid bit of information regarding this type of shotgun. It is one that was used in the movie Tombstone and carried I believe by Virgil Earp as he and his brother fired in the air to break up a mob scene. I read an article about the making of the movie and this particular shotgun was mentioned because it was one that was allegedly owned by one of the Earps in Tombstone. The movie prop master said he had looked all over the country before making the movie to find one of these and he was able to acquire three just in case one was damaged in the making of the movie. I have never seen one other than this one discussed and pictured here but a friend of mine says he hunted with one as a young boy. Interesting piece. I hope you will post picture after having this one refurbished.

Buck Hamlins handy work.

Sweet look to the barrels, but now you have to restore the rest of it!

Tell you what, Doc-- watch the Tombstone movie- the gunfight scene at the OK corral- where Val Kilmer fires=3 shots from a double hammer shotgun, without breaking it open after the first 2 shots are fired to reload for the third-- Hollywood- hummm!! RWTF
