Ted, a very nice looking gun. Darne'is are interesting shotguns to shoot. I find the stocks too small for target shooting. All of mine are too short and too small in the butt area. I use a very large slip on pad and build the comb up using one of the elastic covers that you slip inserts under. I have three Darne's that have a nice 3-4 pound trigger pull and one that is highly engraved that has 10 pound triggers which can not be shot at targets. I had to ream all my chambers and all the chokes. The chamber were all too short and the chokes too tight. My only question is will they hold up to shooting thousands of rounds. I have about 1000 through my 16 and all is fine.
