Bought this some thirty odd years ago at a gun show for $225. It’s hung on a wall in the basement loading/ hobby room ever since. Always intended to restore it. Some previous owner cut the stock down, length of pull is around 12 inches. Too short for me. Both barrels, one ordnance steel, 26 inches, one Damascus, 30 inches, have bright shiny bores, no rust or pitting. The Damacus is missing both beads. The ejectors work and there are no visible cracks in the stock. Lock up is tight nothings loose. The splinter forearm is worn but has a fair amount of checkering and no cracks or chipped wood. all matching numbers, barrels, lock works, fore arm steel and stocks.
I think its a candidate for some upland game hunting with black powder shells.
Just ordered a recoil pad and some spacers from Midway to bring the LOP back to around 14 inches
Would like to replace the beads on the Damascus barrel, don't know what kit to order from Brownells, suggestions anyone.
I know it’s a “B” grade and the “E” means ejectors, aside from that anyone know what the rest of the markings are.
