Well, today I saw the gun I posted on originally.
I believe you can write off VLD gun # 21752, a primer on how not to treat a good gun.
The original butt stock must have been severely cut back at one time it has about a 3" butt extension on it, the checkering is worn smooth, the stock heads are looking compressed.
The bores are still under at .727 with .007 & .035 choke in the 30" tubes. The ribs are loose but the real killer is it has been opened up to 3" chambers and probably saw a life of heavy duck loads. The toplever was loose, something doing with the spring, and even when manually pushed all the way right the action rattles like a washing machine. The barrel flats have no chamber length marked so I must assume they started out as 65mm.
Too bad but didn't seem fiscally responsible to restore.
Bob, do your records show this gun?
