Someone may have come in and made off with the good doubles before I got there, but I didn't see a single decent bird gun in the whole show.

I admire the kit, and I hope you have better luck than I did.


Ditto. These guys are going to different gun shows than I do. I'm lucky to find a single field grade Ithaca with an asking price of $1200.

Taking a kit like this to one of the big specialist gun stores, collection liquidations, or the Southern SxS Classic, on the other hand, would be well worth it.
