OK, I have contacted the person who owns this one, the gentleman lives about 35 miles from me. I picked the gun up last night (haven't bought it yet). The guy is super nice and had the work done by a fellow in Washington State. The barrels are Shilen and measure around .500 at the muzzle and are 26 inches in length. They have been chambered, From the breech forward through the forearm area the diameter is almost a duplicate of the factory 16 ga barrels, from there it tapers to .500. This guy simply lost interest and quite honestly dosen't appear to have desire to finish. At this point I'm not qualified to make any determinations. He did state that the gun had been sold on another auction site and the deal didn't materialize. Since I'm just starting in this arena what are your thoughts? Seems quite a bit of work has been done to just leave it. One issue I see initially is the weight. If I put it on the scales it tops out around 9 lbs (too heavy).
