Tim and All: Paid for and picked it up today. Everything checks out as you suggest. 25.5-in. barrel, single brass bead, choke seems to measure (with the Galazan choke tool) a loose Mod., cut checkering, "ring-tail" forend, unturned screws, 14 inches of pull to a grooved "Ithaca Gun Co. Inc." buttplate, and 5.75 lbs overall. Pretty much just like Dubbletrubble's Thanks to all for the advice. Now for a quail or two! TT
