Gentlemen, thank you! Pre-1922 eh? It seems like the balls are more carved on the 18s I've seen on-line. It's definitely not plain (although the wood is). I shot it yesterday to make sure the tubes weren't as abused as the rest of it. Everything seems to regulate just fine and the triggers and safety were OK. It's been back-bored so much that there is no distinctive end to the chambers. Accordingly, I shot both 2 1/2 & 2 3/4-inch stuff (even the cheap Cabela's Herters loads) with no discernible difference noted. This gun is really light so both belt you a bit. Is this thing worth a K? It should make a great travel & kid gun (w/light loads).

Also, are those dovetail lumps? I would have thought with Siemens tubes it would be chopper lump. No matter though, too nice of a gun to pass up.
