I have several IJ singles, but my only sxs is a 20ga Hercules. Maybe I'll upgrade one day...Geo

A Skeeter is not much of an upgrade over a Hercules with condition. Good luck in your search. My search for a .410 Skeeter in my price range was about 60 years.

The ad mentions a "hooded comb"- what exactly is this. Bill-it took you 60 years to find a .410 bore I-J skeeter-- that is, indeed, true patience. RWTF

The SKEET-ER I had was a .410 two-barrel set with two forends stamped 1 & 2 on barrels and forends. It had fancy wood, straight stock, beavertail, twin ivories on both barrels, a Miller single trigger and one barrel set was marker O and C and the other marked C and M if I remember correctly. First time I shot it at Skeet I broke 23 or 24 - I don't remember which but I knew it was the arrow, not the Indian.
Don't remember why I ever sold that gun.... I walk with a limp cause I've been kickin' myself in the ass ever since.

I remember Dean's two barrel set, wonderful gun. A two barrel .410 set was floating around Virginia shows about 25 or 30 years ago and I would not bite the bullet. I also would not bite the bullet on $4000 plus average .410 guns over the years. The 30" gun held my attention. "Hooded comb" probably refers to the fluted comb in the picture of the pistol grip gun that is absent in the straight grip gun.

Don't know much about these little guns, but their choice of wood certainly doesn't dissappoint.
