Adam,
Is that gun yours? You sure do have some NICE guns - and quite a variety. I'm jealous of your opportunity to use them so much more than I can use mine.
Patrick, it is not mine. I don't own a 1030. Though I had a chance to buy one (actaully several... it was a 5-gun set) a couple years ago for a VERY good price. I foolishly passed. I think Greg (gjw) bought one of the guns I am referring to.

Hi all, Adam is right, I bought the 16ga 1030 (mine is gun number 2 of a 5 gun set) he's referring to. I got it at a very good price. The reasons why the price was so good on mine, is there was an issue with the stock finish (cosmetic only). Also the bbls were hot blued, but as the bbls are brazed the ribs are just fine (had them checked out by a pro BTW). The LOP is 14 1/4" and the bbls are 26". Some may not like the LOP or bbl length, but for me it's about perfect.
The gun has functioned just fine and has accounted for quite a few birds.
For me, I think I got a good one!
Best!
Greg
