Interesting that Ed is so dogmatic in his defense of a gun with obviously cut barrels, and the consequent effect on its fair market value. Perhaps that speaks to the quality of many of the guns he has for sale, I don't know. I do know that Ed is the only seller on GB with whom I will never do business. I once made the mistake of asking him a relevant question about an under-described gun he had for sale, and rather than an answer, received a long lecture about what an expert he is on vintage guns and how he would decide what I needed to know before I bid. In reading these posts, I'm glad to see its not just me.
