doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Wow!. Talk about rare, nice 1894 16 ga.

It ain't redone. It is overpriced. He ain't marketing it to the cheapskates here. Go find another one just like it.

It has been completely apart. Look at the top lever screw. Buggered. There is no reason to take that screw out for anything other than a repair or refinish. If it has no metal wear the top lever should not have needed to be fixed. Problem is people think about refinishing then right to immediate sale. That gun could have been refinished 10, 20, 40 or 50 years ago. The dents in the wood could be classified as old and recent. The recent ones in safe storage. But clearly some of those dings and scrapes are many decades old. But no metal dings from years ago. Too many inconsistencies between wood, metal and screws. Plus you need to consider what you don�t see in views. No grip screws. No water table or barrel flats.

Now you could just say it is a nice looking example of a hard to find gun. Then decide if you want to pay that much money to own it. If I hit the big lottery I might buy it for just a rainy day Dove gun.

You are like a blind man in love with a 400 lb women that used to be a man and no one is going to convince you other wise...

Just the kind of blind love customer Steve Barnett is looking for.

I really get under your skin don�t I Fred. It must hurt to be a blowhard like you.

Mr. Windy getting under my skin...now that was funny.

If I recall correctly it was you that authored this thread 'blowing off' your X'pertise gun knowledge....Funny how I'm not the only one that thinks you are 'blowing hot air' on this original condition gun.

You getting a commission on Steve Barnett guns ?...

As eYe recall this is not your first Barnett prOmo.

So who's the "blowhard" ?

Paul: The Hammerless Model of 1894 A Grades had �Two stripe Damascus� (Boston and Oxford 2 S.J.); B Grades �Fine Three stripe Damascus� (Oxford 4 S.J. and Chain J)

It's Oxford 4 S.J. It is my opinion that Remington damascus barrels were originally "black & white" but may certainly "plum" over time

Your jealousy is showing, Fred.

I just wish whoever is responsible for the listing of the Barnett guns could list some pertinent barrel information like minimum barrel wall thickness. Many dealers do it, Champlin and Kirby just to mention a couple. Trying to ascertain much from the Barnett listings is like trying to buy a pig in a poke.

If i was interested enough in one of Barnett's guns to seriously consider it I wouldn't mind emailing them for the pertinent information. I mean, how much effort is required to send an email?

SRH

Maybe Stevie's bOy Fred will post some stats..
