Raises some ?? to my mindset anyway. This is NOT a SC shotgun-why is a SC course selling an upland bird gun, and not a clays O/U?

I wouldn't be concerned about it being fo sale at a Sporting Clay facility. I am a member at Deep River and he has several used and new side by sides in his gunroom. In fact several years ago I almost bought a nice Henry Atkin there.

What the screws immediately behind the fences for? It looks like they have been "touched."


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Agreed, it's tempting. I have two issues. The wife mentioned needing a new car last night, and the gun comes with a no return policy.

I emailed on the gun, it's a consignment, I'm guessing a members personal gun. They have other guns for sale that look like upland guns versus target guns.

While not best quality when it comes to Birmingham makers there is no better name to have on a shotgun. If the gun checks out mechanically, solder joints are sound, barrel thickness is good and the barrels themselves are original to the frame the price is very reasonable. Something like that must be looked at by someone knowledgeable prior to money being parted. No returns.

Deal with Kirby Hoyt-he specializes in English and European guns, hunts with them, and offers a NQA 3 day return/refund. Never play poker with a man named "Doc" and never buy any gun, new or used, from a dealer who doesn't offer a return option. Caveat Empetor!
