Their biggest seller in the shotgun line there are Mossbergs that can handle 3 1/2 shells.
:lol: Anything notorious to watch out for? I imagine I'm about the only potential purchaser at this little gun shop, and it belongs to a lady that inheirited it years ago from her uncle, and now thinks she wants to sell it. How can I tell if the "ball and socket" has had all the adjustment taken up? How high up was an "E grade"? Are they rare? They look original, and no dents, pits, or really much if any blue loss, just faded. The barrels are engraved Krupp Essen on the top rib. The engraving is extensive, and very well done. It would strip and refinish in Tru-oil, linseed oil, or tung oil and look great. There are places on the stock where the finish is flaking or coming off, some very light but extensive stratches on the stock. I couldn't tell if the gun was restocked front and rear, or just had an absolute expert rechecker it and refinish it in some kind of flawlessly, hideously shiny lacquer or poly. Wood to metal fit is about flawless everywhere. It's multipoint checkered, and matches the well figured straight rear stock exactly.
What's that small screw doing out there just behind the front bead? It has a "sunken" or "hollow" game rib.īy the way, the beavertail is very slender, well shaped, and I think it has some kind of ebony insert in the front of it. The barrels ring, but not like a church bell. It was made in Syracuse.Īlso, there is a flat screw in the rib just behind some kind of copper front bead sight with what appears to be a celluloid "bushing" on the bottom part of the front copper bead. If I recall correctly, it was 32 thousand something. What do you think? Is this thing worth anywhere close to 2 grand for a project gun? The wood's been cut, which is the worst sin. The barrels aren't badly faded, but they need redone to match the wood. It's either been restocked or completely refinished with checkering re-cut. Screws are slightly buggered, not bad, but you can see where they've been turned. It looks like hell with all those scratches and that shiny finish, but I promise you I can fix that.
It's been cut so that with a one inch pad you get about a 14" pull. There are no serious gouges or cuts on the wood. There are all kinds of shallow scratches on the very shiny poly or laquer finish, and it needs redone. Barrels are maybe 95% fading blue, reciever is silver, egraving is very nice and sharp, high quality game scenes, and the lever is the center. It has a white line pad, and what appears to be either an expert restock or an expert refinish on really nice English walnut with multi point checkering patterns. It's a straight stocked, beavertailed forend extractor (not ejector) Lefever E grade with 30" Krupp barrels. At our little gun shop there is a rare treasure offered on consignment for $2,000.
