Both guns have chips and small amounts of wear to the corners of the wood on the forends where side by side shotguns often get damaged.Both actions cock and eject correctly on snap caps.Gun 1: This has been shot the most and a perceivable rattle is present between barrels and action with the forend removed but not so when the forend is fitted. Bores both measure .740 matching the relatively recent .740 reproof. Barrels ring when tapped with a very slight buzz, there is a small sliding sound when the barrels are tilted up and down as if there is a particle within the ribs. Bores are both free of pitting. There is evidence of a lifted dent to the left tube around the mid point.Gun 2: Perceivable rattle is present between barrels and action with the forend removed but not so when the forend is fitted.

The forend has either a very slight crack or a deep scratch near the action. If it is a crack it appears stable, our opinion is it is more likely to be a scratch.

The bore is generally good but would benefit from a clean.
