Lowelly, Meriden field grades usually look like they were built at the cast-iron stove foundry. This one has some potential because it has more than a remnant of robust good health. Course all frogs and vintage doubleguns has good pints and bad. I'm up to four damascus doubles now. Shot the other three with nitro; only one of them with black. Gun is 8 lb. even and barrels appear at first glance to be heavy like those on my SAC gun so may shoot this one eventually but will do a bit of plumbing the depths with Ye Olde Walle Theekness Gage and maybe ask Orlen to take a looksee before I do. Got to do something about the "travelling" forend also. Maybe some weld on the forend lug.
