$3,895 isn't much too optimistic, with the case and Brileys. Some would say the tubes reduce value but I like versatility. Rare and fine guns in my humble opinion...Geo
P. S.: Gotta love Darnes as well!

P. S.: Gotta love Darnes as well! Do you like 24 tubes? Did you happen to glance at how those tubes fit that case? RE the Darne thing, yea, if they fit. Best, Ted

I didn't notice the 24" barrels, but I don't object at all to short barrels for snap shooting stuff in the canebreaks down here. I have a Win. Model 12 16 with 24" barrel which is my most deadly bobwhite and woodcock gun..Geo

I own a 12 & 20 ga. with 26" tubes, short enough for me. I think the gun presents odd with 24" barrels.
Yes, that price certainly is optimistic in my opinion. Many correct ones to be had near that price.

Never mind the barrels, checkered butt is my deal breaker.

Never mind the barrels, checkered butt is my deal breaker. A checkered butt is a deal breaker? If you dont care for a checkered butt ( my personal favorite treatment, by the way) it is light years of magnitude easier and cheaper to deal with then 24 tubes. Geo, a repeater like a model 12, with a short barrel, is a different kettle of fish compared to a good double with 24 barrels. The receiver gives the impression of 4-5 of barrel. Best, Ted

Most people dont start with a gun worth 3-4 large to build a coach gun. Best, Ted
