New trades/part trades (6/22) -
Leupold gloss scope (with medallion, not text)
Ammo - .30-06, .30-30, .22 mag, .357 mag, .38 special, 223/556
Colt, FN, DD etc. M4 FSB barrel
870 12ga 3" barrel with Remchokes
Surefire X300U or Scout light
Streamlight TLR1
Ruger Mk series pistol

Serial dates this to 1914, original finish, beautiful patina, great shooting old double barrel. Barrels are "armor steel" (not Damascus), so modern non-magnum 2 3/4" LEAD (no steel) loads are safe. I recently cut the barrels to 19", which turned out very nice. I installed a 6-48 thread large bead sight. At some point a butt pad was added, which is so hard now it really doesn't help. My plan was to make a new plate out of brass and force patina it.


Anyway, I'm asking $600, and I'm willing to hear trade ideas. I can add my Vaquero 44 to this for a larger value trade.

PRICE FROP TO $500. Buy this and my Vaquero for $1100

To bad you didn't answer my earlier messages, I'd have bought it happily before you hacked it.

What are you going to do for chokes?

 

[RedneckRampage]

I made time to fill the gap.

Too bad you cut it down, hopefully you had a gunsmith do it, I remember Ruby Ridge .

I can read a tape measure and I gave myself a full inch extra, so if my bandsaw blade walked. It actually cut very true and just took very light clean up. The barrels are just a cúnthair under 19".

Also, I was not asked to do this, like Weaver was, I did it for myself.

What are you going to do for chokes?

A coach gun is for close up shots with buck shot. So, there is no reason to choke the barrels. Also, modern plastic wads eliminate the need to choke a shotgun barrel of any length,

Plastic wads will replace a choke?
