What a the min wall thickness is it original chamber length what's the barrel wall thickness at the end of the chamber and in front of the chamber .this gun seems a light gun mabey the barrels have been honed did you confirm the chamber lenth? It might be invisible sleeved? I would think a buyer should beware until theses and many more questions are answered.

I am satisfied that you saw that the top lever is way over to the left calling into question the condition of the under locking bolt/rear barrel lump slot and whether the barrels are on face considering that the barrel flats look like they are completely down "banging against the action flats"

Different? Cool? Hardly.

Too short LOP (like so many vintage guns today), 26" barrels (normal for a .410), too little drop, lever to the left .........

Nothing different here, or cool. Same ol' same ol'. As ed said in the title of another of his posts , "Professional" (not) salesmanship.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Then you are saying that it really wasn't the admirals gun but his children's ? We're his kids famous ? Now I am really confused about so called provenance.

Does someone think that they should send Holt's auction and tell them that they need to raise the estimate of this (see below) Wesley Richards .410 boxlock by £3,000 from the £1,000 to £1,500 because they are way too low.
