Sent the pictures along to a gunsmith friend, an expat Brit specializing in sxs. He praised it. Some of his comments:

Quote:
Probably refinished when the nicely done extension was added and it was nitro proofed, which was in Birmingham before 1984. The only people I know who do case colour like that are St Ledger, also B'ingham, and it looks like their barrel browning too. It was all a 'proper job' ....


IMHO if there's enough wall thickness then it should be good to go. There are plenty of loads out there with <8k psi pressure.

Now it's just a matter of finding someone local with wall thickness guage. I doubt if proofed in the 60s that the barrel thinned over that time.

Would really like this sold soon. Somebody shoot me an offer. This was appraised in the 4500 to 5000 range by multiple sxs dealers...I honestly just want a smidge more than what they offered to buy it from me.

If you're in the 570 take it over to Woodcock Hill, Col. Baker can measure it

Thanks for the tip. I will have to give them a call. They're about 20 mins closer than griffin and howe, and if they can do it, I'd rather stay in PA.

UPDATE: BUYER backed out, but hopefully getting a clean bill of health will help reassure potential buyers
