Bill I think you may be right, no cracks or gaps, there are some good honest hunting marks, thats about it. I got it out today and shot a round of trap, very easy gun to shoot, crushed 23 of 25 with little effort, very natural pointing. I originally bought it with the idea of flipping it but after today I think I will keep it. I need to find someone to replace one of the firing pins and bushings and the roller extractor seems to have a missing spring. Most likely will get it fixed and make it one of my LC shoot guns.
