I think your 14 gauge is a higher quality gun than you suggest. Look at the classic buttstock, in modern dimensions. This gun shows the care Carlos showed in building, and in this case purchasing, finely designed rifles and shotguns. Tell us about the bores and nipples. That would be what makes this a great shooter.
The bores look excellent, but the left nipple is blocked, so I need to try to open that up. Right nipple is clear as a small wire slid right in it, and I can blow through the hole. Don't want to attempt to remove the nipple just in case, so I'll try to clear it with a small bit in my hand held chuck and not using any power tools.
I too think this is an above low quality shotgun. All the metal is border engraved, and the various pieces extremely well fitted. Wrap around checkering is stunning, with no over runs, or damage. Someone cared for this gun well. I hope to find a takedown case that will handle the 32.5" long barrels and action. It would just be nice to have a good case for it too.
