    Neal, Do the barrels water table have an oval with Chambers 3 Inches on it. Otherwise it might be a gun that the chambers were lengthened.

    Hunter Arms made a gun for wildfowlers called Longrange Wildfowler, usually stamped on the barrels lug with Longrange or Wildfowl. They had 30" -32" barrels, choked mostly full/full, with the Chambers 3 Inches in an oval, and had the re-inforced splinter on the barrels, from 1924-1942. Made only on a Regular Frame.

    As far as hurting value, unless it was in mint condition, I would say no. If it had the Hunter One-Trigger with ejectors and the items above in great condition, then it would bring a lot more money as they are getting hard to find.

    There is one person here that is trying to find out how many were made and in what grades.

    Post some pictures and a description of your gun, and hope that you will become a member of the L.C.S.C.A.
