Keith:
I had a similar experience with a Darne, which was sold to me as a 12 gauge R-10 and turned out to be a 2-7/8 inch 10 gauge instead. At 7 pounds 3 ounces, it's not a gun one shoots with heavy loads, but the RST 1-1/8 ounce loads are a pleasure in it (and the old, no longer loaded, 1-1/16 ounce loads even more so).
It also turns out that 10 gauge Darnes are as scarce as hen's teeth in the U.S. I believe Ted Schefelbein has records of 6, including a very nice one that Tim Carney, who posts here from time to time, took to Africa a number of years ago.
Sometimes seller's mistakes do turn out to be pleasant surprises.
