Recently gone thru by Terry Nicholson (1st deep-cleaning ever [according to Terry], tubes refinished, checkering recut). This 2nd year Fulton production "transitional gun" used equipment and materials from the earlier Syracuse operation (English walnut stocks, more ornately sculped actions, bushed firing-pins, the 1st stop-check, a double dog buttplate, etc.). A big & heavy 12-gauge with massive (almost 4-lb) 30-inch English Laminated Steel tubes (w/ modified chokes and 2 3/4-inch chambers). Great triggers and trouble-free operation now (no stock-cracking issues & modern target ammunition is not a problem either).

I bought this unit to shoot with the Colorado Vintagers and it breaks clays with abandon (and at 7lbs13 you'll barely notice the recoil). This gun also has the 3-position Big Window safety (allowing the shooter to chose automatic or disabled-safety operation). Be the only guy to shoot a vintage (but very solid) SXS at your local clays range.

Also, being pre-1898 it can be shipped directly (no FFL services required). Additional pictures and measurements upon request. Contact me here (via PMs) if interested.

Asking $1,700.

Edit to add: English Best Laminated Steel is at least 70% steel and was arguably the strongest of all the Damascus-steel options. Moreover, these tubes are something like 70 thousandths thick at the breech and with minimums of 35-40 thousandths at the thinnest points.
