 That makes it a because gun. When they, why did you buy it then? Because I wanted it.  ;)
 
 Nice combo congrats.

It is a nickel plated finish and a factory Maxi so you probably didn't overpay for it.  Be careful with the forestock stud on the barrel as they are not as stout as the ones on gun they sell today.  I found this out about the stud the hard way while shooting my best friends 357 Handy Gun II :-[

Does the 20ga bbl also have rifle sights?. I would be very surprised if it was factory tapped if it did not have rifled sights also. You can buy stainless plug screws. Does not matter what you paid that is a very nice combo to find congrats. Kurt
