A local shop has one that could make a nice project gun. Barrels locked up tight but the lever was approaching left of center. Biggest problem I saw was a cracked stock. It appeared to be have been repaired with care and it may be sound to shoot as is. Three weight barrels and I would guess 28" from my eyeballing. Price was $1100.

I was tempted myself but am looking for a graded smallbore so I had to pinch the pennies. I'd be happy to provide contact info for the shop but I can't say if they sell out of state. I have no financial interest in this gun just trying to do my good deed for the week.

What repairs are in order if the lever is left of center or does this just indicate it has been shot a lot? What area of MD ? I live in MD also.
Thanks

I think it's an indication of it being shot a good bit. I don't remember opening and closing the action to be difficult.

I forgot to mention the barrels had a nice ring so I'm assuming the ribs are fine.

I live near Frederick.
