In the "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while" department, I stumbled across a really nice double gun in an estate sale today. The gun is a Baker Batavia leader 16 gauge. While I am not asking for appraisal value, I would like some of your learned opinions on this gun. As in , were the 16 gauges fairly scarace? This one has fluid steel barrels, is that unusual?
Of all my gun books, I cannot find much at all on these guns. I have always kind of put them In the kind of "gun limbo" area quality wise between Crescents and LC Smith guns which is occupied by Bakers and Meridens. I could be wrong, as this seems to be a well made gun.
Any input you all have on these guns would be appreciated.
