Several years ago asked Mr Barnett about wall thickness to wilon a Parker 32 inch straight grip. Told me he did not go to the trouble for a gun of that grade. Sad thing the gun was probably on consignment some owner expecting it to sell. And yes I bought a 32 inch straight grip from somebody else.

My experience with him was pretty much the same...it was like who was I to question him.

Drew, thank you. Stan, one could email him but at the same time he could give those measurements in the listing. That is unless he doesn't have the necessary equipment to measure the barrel walls. Now that would be a shame seeing how he markets his guns to someone other than the cheapskates here. Maybe, just maybe we're not just cheap, but trying to stay well informed before we buy. I won't argue with Researcher about case colors, but still beleive the damascus barrels look too nice for a gun with a stock like that. At least I wouldn't be buying, and it has nothing to do with how much money I'd spend on a gun.

Steve does not do several things he should do on gun specs. He sells them anyway. JR

Sorry you two have not had a good experience with Steve. I know him personally, and see him about once a year. I've always gotten any info I've asked for. Some people are just not as outgoing as others. Kirby H. is just the prince of congeniality, IMO. Always eager to talk and help however he can.

My experience is the same with both, Stan. I visit with Steve several times a year and always come away impressed with his hospitality. Anyone who cannot do business with either guy is probably not a true prospect. JR

I've bought several guns from Kirby Hoyt without a hitch...even returned a $9000.00 gun to him without a problem. Never bought anything from Barnett because his pricing has always been out of line with what he was selling.

My reputation for NOT posting pictures of my guns is explained in this thread. I have gotten criticism on the internet for every gun I have bought that was pictured on the sites I bought from. No point in adding to that criticism by posting pictures myself.

Obvious an older refinish, JMHO. Also priced about double what it should sell for, maybe more.
