Matching splinter ejector forends have long schnabeled horn tips, and Deeley type releases. BBL set of “1”: Bore diameter: left -.663, right -.663. Bore restrictions: left -.026 (full), right -.011 (Lt Mod). Minimum wall thickness: left -.031, right -.026. Drop at heel: 2-9/16″, drop at comb: 1-5/16″. Weight: 6 lbs 12 oz. LOP: 14-7/8″.

CONDITION: Fine, as partially refinished. Bbls retain essentially all of a sympathetic re-black. Actions are coin finished with shiny highlights, engraving still clear. Stocks retain nearly all of an oil finish over numerous marks with a few light subsequent marks. Comb of gun “2” has been restored, and matches well. Checkering is slightly worn on both, but more so on “2”. Both guns have excellent bores. Actions are somewhat loose. Ejectors are in time. Case leather has had edges worn through showing stitching, and has considerable staining and rubs, along with raised grain from tape removal. Interior cloth is good with numerous rubs and marks. 4-53708 (4,000-8,000) – Lot 2361
