Thanks to all! Chuck......that is one scary photo, and when i take the gun to Kirk to discuss the rib....i will definitely get him to check the rest out. I have also discovered that the gun may have been designed for Brass Hulls, as there is a definite ridge in the chamber at "between" 2 11/16" and 2 3/4", a rolled card slipped into the chamber makes a HARD stop....not a jammed up stop, and the ridge is quite visible from the breech, i will have Kirk check that as well as I really wish to shoot this gun. Although with all of that said.....with the current condition of the gun amd screws, part of me agrees with some of those inputing....to shoot and enjoy for now. Thanks agen from the Lone Star State!!!
