Chukar, a very nice gun. Those straight grips are cool. Thanks for posting. Just curious, what are the barrels and chokes? Weight? Frank

Frank:
Barrels are 28" Krupp steel, choked (R) 65% @ 25 yards & (L) 65% at 35 yards. Basically skeet and modified. Bill Nittler tuned the barrels and chokes to my specifications. This has proven a very effective combination for the work I put it to.
Gun weighs 5 lbs, 15 ounces.

Chuckarman, could you send me some pic's of the checkering on both the stock and forend. I love the way it was done and may ask my stockman to duplicate it.
Thanks

Those are the best photos I have. The checkering was done by Gary Goudy to my design. I'll look to see if I have anything else.
