fat tony i sold one 18 months ago it was the takedown gp gun 12 gage with full chocke it shot slugs very accuratly ,they are a strong action i wish i had kept it and turnd it into a 45/70 single shot.i still regret it even now i paid $250 australian for it had it for 5 years and sold it for $500 to a friend he wanted to turn it into a 12 gage express rifle, he still hassent finished it yet but it is coming along realy well he has fitted an octagonal barrel put a new forend and but stock on it in fancey english walnut with hand cut checkering. he is still not sure what sights to put on it .its a tose up between scope or express sights
i think he should go for the express sights .the reason i got $500 for it was mine was coulor case hardend ,wich is quite rair here in oz .they are a breese to clean and if in good condition are a nice looking gun.ithink they are the best looking of all the martinis.
