Sorry, meant to follow up on this post and flat forgot. I ended up passing on the gun, for a few reasons. First and most pressing reason was that it was off-face. With the forend off there was a very noticeable wobble. Secondly, it had pretty obviously been redone. Looked much different from the pics. The barrel blue and case colors were, to my eyes, simply too new for either to be original when compared to the engraving, which didn't match the crispness of the case colors and blueing The stock had been refinished as well. I also suspect the barrels had been honed. The bores were like mirrors and although I obviously couldn't measure barrel wall thickness, I was worried that perhaps they'd been hogged out because they were super thin at the muzzle and very light. And finally, it was supposed to be cased and there was no case shipped with it. A minor thing compared to everything else, but it still pissed me off. Other than that it was lovely, beautifully balanced gun and I really, really wanted to take it home (yep, 2.5-inch chambers) but in the end I had too many warning bells going off in my head.
