I wonder if you were selling it to him, the conditon he would describe to you, I'm sure it wouldn't be the same. Plus I guess he can sit on it for a while and wait for his price.

Except, except the M/F chokes. Light gun, light loads, tight chokes.

I might buy the originality. I'm very skeptical of the weight, and to suggest the 3"+ DAH is only 2 1/4" is laughable.
