Wonder what happened to the original forend. shocked

often times guns are stored without forend attached, in order to discourage theft or prohibit use...

My advise. Go with a real Syracuse Lefever. They rarely have issues and are my all time favorites. Especially the 16 ga. on the XX frame. I have owned all of the American classics and in my opinion are at the top of this list in engineering and grace. Took my GE 12ga out yesterday and today for some pen raised pheasants and it never cease to impress me.
Good luck and enjoy the hunt!

You guys been busy since I poured a glass yesterday evening! Really, thank all you guys for the input and discussion It is helpful and entertaining. I didn't have much time to mess around looking at old guns at work today but I keep thinking about the A Grade Fox and a few parkers that are out of my price range. Nothing wrong with the Sterlingworth or the field grade Ithaca's but damn that little bit of engraving and style that they added to the A Grade Fox is hard for me to forget.

And thank all of you who took the time to PM me links to guns. I have added several to my watch.

I love this gun, but it has too little drop and is too heavy for your use. Just saying.

Now that is a fine Remington. I did want to ask what is the consensus on reaming a full/full gun to open up one of the chokes? Never do it or is it ok on the post damascus barrels provided the barrel wall is thick enough? And what is the cost to have it done by a good smith?

It's perfectly fine to modify chokes to suit. Usually in the neighborhood of $100 per hole.
