Carl Backmund SxS Shotgun 16ga SN:15972
This is a European SxS shotgun chambered for 16 gauge shotshells. Rib reads "Carl Backmund Munchen" It has 29.5" Belgium proofed, blued barrels with a brass bead front sight, two triggers, rabbit ear hammers and a Lefaucheux action. The metal action, trigger guard and forearm are engraved and it has a metal butt plate, all bright, not blued. The action breaks open turning the larger lever to the right, then turn the smaller lever to the left releasing the barrels. The wood shoulder stock looks great with checkering at the wrist but appears to have been revarnished at some point and a small amount of "bleed" occurred on the tang. There is a tiny surface crack at the wrist by the tang. It has sling mounts attached. The finish on the barrels looks good with some loss of finish in areas but the issue is at the muzzle. From the muzzle down for 2.5", both barrels are rough, pitted and discolored on the outside. The bores look a little rough and dark in spots. The bores may clean up with no issue ? hard to tell. Chokes measure Full on the left barrel CYL on the right barrel with a choke gauge. LOP is 14" from the front trigger. Condition is NRA Fair *C&R Firearm*
