Lot of tears and not many dollars

Sorry, repost delete

500 if you can shoot 10ga at cowboy action shoots.....

I have carried many a 12 gauge for field use that weighed 7� lbs. Shortest one had 26" barrels. None of them were near that pretty though. Loaded with 1 1/8 oz of shot I could see me taking it out for upland game.

With a 10 gauge that light there's likely not enough wall thickness to put in a bit of jug choke or tubes. It might be possible to have someone install a light fixed choke tube in the left barrel to make it a bit more versatile.

I'll leave the price evaluation to others though. Won't want to pay a whole lot for it, but don't really see that you would ever come out ahead spending a lot on "Fixing" it back up, too much to do.

I agree, $500 maximum. And that's just to have a sample of his fabulous engraving.

I can see the attraction, but I can't see any value.
So I tend to go even lower than 500.
My preference would be to never have seen it because that engraving & original quality make it hard to forget.
I feel it may be useless other than to look at or as parts.
Really low ball him & be prepared to walk away is what I would do.
O.M

Mike99 has a 10 ga., 32" gun like this one for 6500 on gunbroker. Metal and wood are very nice. It tops 8 pound 8 ounces which I expect was about your guns original weight. Asking 6500 but it has been for sale for a long time. So maybe 80% of that as the real value.

7 pounds 8 ounces might be a decent feeling gun to shoot even with those 22" barrels if it balances half way decently. Chokes might be added by either a screw in choke tube or a permanently soldered tube. Load down to 1 1/4 or 1 1/8 ounces should be a decent load to use in it. Sleeving it would be a great option if money was not object. I'd sleeve it down to 12 ga. with a set of 32" barrels or sleeve it to a 10 if you must.

As to price I have to agree 500-1,000 at the max. Higher if you can shoot it as is and less if you know you are going to spend a lot of money on it. The wood problems are very easily taken care of, but those barrels are not going to be cheap and there are just about zero chances of finding a set of orphaned barrels out there.

$200 considering that I have no idea who would take on the sleeving the reribbing and at what price. The hole in the stock is a much simpler situation. The market price of a sleeved Daly is very low, especially in ten gauge. The realistic price would be in negative figures, but I'm willing to go the $200 because I am a sucker for an orphan.

Yeah, I too think at the top end the components may be worth 5 Texas Tens. And being akin to 8bore, I'd give it a home & become the custodian for between $200 & $500.
