Show images of the muzzles. If those are early barrels they may be more sellable. The later Belgian full choke barrels are so thin they require specialty chokes and prep. Briley does it but last I knew they charged $150/barrel to thread them + $50/choke. That was a long time ago so probably more now. Thicker barrels can be reamed and threaded by any gunsmith for "normal" chokes (e.g. Invector). The Miroku A5 barrels were all much thicker and commonly choked anyway. I suspect the ribless barrel is an older one.

The problem with full choke magnum barrels is they are pretty much useless for anything but shooting trap or turkeys. Steel shot is definitely a no-no in Browning fixed full choke barrels. They can't take it. I have been told that opening the thin ones up to fixed modified is also dicey. The magnum models don't cycle trap loads reliably even when braked per factory instructions. I finally modified the guts on mine with 2.75" barrel spring and brake. Requires adding a spacer over the magazine tube.

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
