I have returned from personally examining the gun with Alfred. First, I would like to thank Alfred for letting me inspect the gun with him. He is very knowledgable and is an expert in his field.

As to the gun, it was a total piece of crap. It had at least a dozen botched repairs, the barrels are not original to the gun, the chambers are out of proof, the head is cracked and it only gets worse. The gun was greatly misrepresented and I am annoyed that both my time and money were wasted. The gun is being sent back asap.

On a bright note, I have raised my budget to $20K plus. This should enable me to locate a nice gun. If anyone knows of a nice Purdey or H&H please drop me a line at kdross@msn.com

Thanks.
Ken
