I saw two LC's this week that look like the one in Drew's pic. Both were long barreled Specialty grades with vent rib and factory beavertail forends. One had 32" barrels, a Miller trigger, safety slot filled with red 'stuff' and no buttplate or recoil pad. Somehow I missed bidding on this one. I don't know what I was doing at the time, but I wasn't paying attention. frown

The second has 30 or 32" barrels, Hunter One trigger and a factory beavertail. It was so badly rusted one of the breach balls was almost gone. Barrels were pitted and one so full of spider webs, you couldn't see through it. I think it sold for $50. I didn't bid....
