All this talk about choke tubes is crazy. What is wrong with cylinder and modified? Yes, the muzzle area needs to be dressed up a bit, a simple job. If the bores and wall thickness were OK, the barrel finish and stock looks fair to good at least. They actually look better than good. If the wood to metal fit is still good and the gun is on face and tight, all you need to do is make sure it works and start negotiating down to a bargain price. Yes, it's too expensive for a gun that will be hard to sell, but that clamshell action would be hard for me to pass up. With the 28 1/2 inch barrels, you should have no point of impact problems that were not present before the barrels were cut. I just bought a Sauer hammer drilling with no fewer issues than your gun and I couldn't be happier. How about that "Lindner Style" top lever?
