This is the way I look at it, eightbore. I have two nice sets of Model 21 wood that I have had for years. Plus a few other splinter forends. I didn't pay over $150.00 for either set of wood. Probably not over $100.00........ $4500.00 for the gun, sell the extra set of barrels for the $2000.00 since he doesn't even know if they are bad or not. And you have a skeet 21 for $2500.00 Or keep the barrels. Reengrave the letters for about $25.00 per letter. And if the gun shoots, which he has no reason to believe it doesn't, it would be a nice rare gun for $2500.00. And, if you are going to keep the gun and shoot it, it won't matter what it letters, now will it? And do the extra barrels even letter to the gun, anyway? It doesn't really sound all that bad to me. I am glad people passed on all these guns over the years. It left more bargains for me.
