Hello to all,
As the title reads i have an older double i have some questions about mostly about year it was made and a little bit about value.
Well info you guys need is im pretty sure its a flues model and serial number is 247054. The condition is 95% of bluing is intact and a small crack in forearm. Bores are in fantastic condition and was well taken care of. Butt stock has normal wear not alot just a few dings. Everything appears to be in working condition.
I also ask this because i would like to shoot it and make sure i am shooting correct loads out of it as i would hate to ruin the bores because of not doing the proper research but i had too much conflicting info out there.
Might post a few pics tomorrow...Thanks for having me and hello again :D

Hey long shot! Glad to have you here. I personally wouldnt consider myself qualified to answer that question as I'm not real familiar with that model...some one else can help you out I bet. Sounds like a nice gun, we would love to see a picture ;)

Anytime. After you have cleaned it up, and fire that bad boy off, let us know how it works. Full report required sir. :lol:

Hope it works great. Good luck.

Well just bought some low pressure shotgun shells and as soon as i get them through the mail and get a chance to get out and shoot I will have to do an overview of my thoughts of the gun and ammo.
Thanks rossignol for the welcome.
