I've been keeping an eye out for a 2 7/8'' chambered 10 gauge double barrel and checked one out at the LGS today. I'm not sure what grade it is at the moment and don't know much about them either. The asking price is 1100.00, it seems tight and the bores look good. The gun has lots of finish and the barrels look like blued steel. I'm wondering if that's a fair price, the wrist of the butt stock has a crack that looks to go from side to side and the forend has a small crack too.
Is it useable with a crack in the wrist or is that hard to fix?
I suppose these are for black powder or light smokeless loads?
