Well, put down your stun gun there Destry- and reach for the 8 gauge Greener--I wanted to buy either a 12 Fox Sterlingworth DT-Ext or a Parker Trojan- 12 gauge 28 or 30 inch barrels M&F-- and Wildwood seemed to have a lot of AH Fox and Parker Trojans, and they sure do list on GI-- I have about given up on GB, as about half the numbnutz who list doubles for sale therein don't know extractors from selective ejectors--and their "creative descriptions" boggle the mind-- auto extractors, manual ejectors, etc-- But GI seems to attract a "higher echelon" of both dealers and private sellers--
I am going to use the Fox I just bought on GI (Sterlingworth 12- 30" M&F DT-Ext- SN 120531 and as soon as the Dell service "Tech-Weinie" gets our monitor and the HP printer squared away, I'll even post photos of it.
I dealt with a gentleman from the Nutmegger State, he had a fair price, excellent photos, and he took the time to give me the stock dims and aprox weight info, and was very pleasant to deal with. So the FFL copy and the Chase Cashier's check are "in the snail mails" and I should have, through my FFL dealer, the Fox 12 by sometime next week--
I wanted a fairly stout 12 for our Tower birds at the local Fruitridge Club, as my "pet" 12 for that (and feral pigeons at Chuck's Club in Marion- a few tears ago) the 2E 12 Smith with the 32" Nitro factory ventilated rib (I used it in the SC pigeon ring at the Yooper in 2010 also) is on its way to my friend Buck Hamlin out in MO-- needs a built-up barrel lug and top rib extension to return it to "On Face"-- the top lever was getting way far to the left of TDC on the old 2-pc tang- and you can't rush a Master craftsman- I expect Buck to have it for at least 6 months, better guess, a year--
I very much missed the older HE 12 I foolishly sold some years ago--I went through GB and GI looking for one for sale-NADA- so this stout Sterly with No. 2 wt. barrels will have to "take over"- along with my 12 Grade 2 LC Smith with similar barrel and choke configurations.
Saw Mark's fine photos of the recent Lapeer MI sxs SC event- last several years when I could get away to attend ( 3 hour drive for me-each way) it was in April, if memory serves. Saw you "front and center" in one of the photos- hope you shot well!
