Friends:

Here is an inmteresting gun.

Perhaps the seller just isnt into doubles enough, as he sort of suggests the metal and wood might be refinished.

My take is the wood had a Tru-Oil redo, the action has been torched ( see how the colors cross the line from frame to lock plate) and the barrels look bright and shiny and hot salt tank reblued. And the trigger guard. I also noted that in no picture can you see the position of the top lever.

sigh.

My middle brother has been looking for a nice double, and asked me to comment on this one. My response was to laugh out loud and then tell him to look elsewhere.

Why do people do this? Is the level of ignorance out there such that folks can really move such abused iron?

Thoughts?

Regards
