The Grade 2 BSSs were sidelocks and cost significantly more.
The first generation BSSs has non-selective silver colored triggers. The later models had selective gold colored triggers. Both were available in Sporter or pistol grip configurations.
Guns like my BSS Sporter 20, selective trigger, 28" barrels, 95%+, were going for over $2,000 before the economy tanked. Somewhat lower now, and 12s also go for a bit less.
They did make Sporter 12 gauges with 30" barrels, but not too many. I looked and looked for one, and after I gave up of course two popped up.
Bob was right, don't know where my brain was on the pricing. BUT, before I jumped at "custon fitted" barrels and thinwall chokes I would have to know who did everything. I am quite familiar with Briley and am good with them, but I am not familiar with the gunsmith who supposedly did the work. I'd like to see the receipts.
It didn't sell I see. I am tempted myself, but I am already battling the urge to jump on a Dickinson 20.
