It's also a long way from the mint condition advertised.

Looks like a restored gun with use to me.


I agree. Humidity & sunlight didn't put those dents in the wood. Hard to imagine a gun with that many wood dings with the metal looking that good. Plus all those mistimed screws speak for themselves.



How anyone could call this a restored piece is hard to figure. It's pretty obvious, to me at least, this is a gun that has a lot of "rack wear" and handling, which affects the wood much more than metal. Lots of dings and dents in the wood, but no typical wear to the checkering that shows up from hunting and carrying afield. From the looks of the butt plate, it probably stood in a gun cabinet or closet with other guns and who knows what else, that banged and knocked against it over the decades. It didn't get much respect, that's for sure...
