Nice gun and an interesting thread. I have one Syracuse Arms double with steel barrels and have never found very much information on it. Tom mentions having written some articles on this subject, and I wouldn't mind hearing where I could find them. This guns' stock break looks to be very repairable, but I am of no help on the ejectors or originality of the barrel length. The LOP to the end of the wood sounds very plausible as the original buttplate would add 3/16" or so, and the average guy was smaller back then. If you can get this for a reasonable price, I think you will regret passing on it someday if you don't buy it. Money... we make more of it every day. And it's going to be worthless anyway after Obama gets through with it. But how many more of these will you see? I am still haunted by a lovely Harrington and Richardson A grade double that I foolishly passed on 15 yrs. ago.
