The small dents should be no problem in it's shooting ability, just aesthetics. The 20 ga. for $2195 is all original, the screws have never been messed with. When I first looked at it 2 years ago, the barrels were fine, I quess they don't wipe them off after being looked at. The one 16 ga. that was refinished is a nice looking gun. I'll post a picture of a 12 ga with ejectors that I picked up from there. Nice gun, had a bad crack from top of both sideplates to top of tang. Was fixed when I got it. Sideplates were either polished or what some have said were plated. It's an Ideal Grade and weighs 6 lbs. 11 oz., 28" barrels mod/full, and I paid half the price of the 20 you are looking at. Only thing I don't like it that it has a recoil pad and the stock was cut, so I can't put a butt plate on it.
