Too, there were strict rules on the steel stamps from the steel manufacturer to the mechanic who would convert the bar stock into a rough bored tube or completed tube. Not sure yet of the agreement or if there was penalty, but the mechanic was to apply specific text or characters to distinguish one type tube steel from another.

i have had EDD on ignore since he thought it would be cute to post a link into my personal email account here on the board. when i messaged dave weber and asked that he delete that link, i also asked that he banish EDD from the site (again)....he promptly deleted the link but chose to leave clever EDD to troll and trash as he sees fit. i, for one, would prefer that EDD not track mud and bulls**t onto my threads...but EDD obviously sees himself a wit, so his crap and drivel will obviously continue.

best regards (but not to EDD)

How can a gun with 4 bolts and a dolls head possibly be off face?

Here is an answer from the Liege-Univers
..
This is ML model 6618 according the rib extension shown.
Here are photos of catalogue pages.
The a.m. ML catalogue sourced ex Cornell does not include it.

This has been their best of a LIEGE-BEST haregun, with its opulent engraving,
typical 3/4 choke in both barrels, unsurpassable by any other maker.
A London auctionhouse sold a pair of those in the 52xxx nr range end of the
1990`s to US.
For anyone addicted to a London gun , these open bored London guns
are wonderful birdguns, but at a Central European hare shoot a nuisance
and "Aasjägerei".
If you come across such a ML gun buy it.

It is Gun-Off-Topic , but at present Times-ON-Topic.
The first Westerner who wanted to implant western values of -Liberty,Egalite,Fraternite-
into Eastern Europe has been this French-man from Korsica.
A great boulevard in Paris is named after his endeavour as "Avenue de la Grande Armee".
He left for his campaign versus POCCIJA with an ammassed army/headcount of 700.000.
A barrel of Chambertin accompanied him on his long trip towards the east.
He successfully entered MOSKWA, but the Moscovites burned down the town.
For the unsheltered French not used to - 20 C not a warm wellcome, so they returned.
A Petite-Armee of 20000 returned , what has happened to the 680000.
Simple answer.

Well, I missed quite a buy by $5. Still happy. On the looseness issue, I suspect the cause may be side to side play between the lug and frame. I have had a couple of Sterlingworths and a Parker GH that did this to a small degree. The small excess side clearance will let the barrels rotate very slightly side to side when open but not when constrained in the closed position. It could of course have a little play in the pin that is being held tight by the crossbolt. If so, I will simply put a tiny shim in the hook to prevent future wear on the crossbolt or rib extension. At this price point, I think it is entirely justified and is reversible in the future. The one thing I plan on doing is take a shot at refinishing the stock. The restoration looks quite good in the pictures except that the finish looks a little simple. Hopefully an immersion strip, and a nice fill and oil finish may do the trick. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

If you recieve any photos, I would appreciate seeing them.
