Yikes. Yeah. Mine is just an O grade. No way I'd pay that much for sleeving. I'm located in Ohio, between Dayton and Cincinnati. If you know of someone reliable out this way to check the barrels I'd be appreciative if you guys can point me in the right direction. This is a neat old gun. According to the information I've gotten so far it was made in 1899. According to Brophy's book, as far as the O grade, that was the first year Damascus barrels were an option over wire twist and the second year ejectors were available. Only just over 6,000 were made with ejectors out of over 20,000. Thought that was pretty cool. Also, is anyone reproducing parts for these? I'm in need of an ejector tumbler (old style ejector) and was hoping to not have to fabricate one. Thanks again!
