Kindly remind Joe of the 4th rule.
What kind of Double Auto, Steel receiver, Twelvette, or Twentyweight?
Twentyweight.
By happy coincidence, the Double Auto and the Ugartechea balance and swing almost exactly the same.
The Ugartechea was picked up when a Union Strike closed down the factory. Supposedly it has a finish flaw somewhere (which I have never found), that caused it to be sold for the price of an American economy double.
The Double Auto was picked up off of Auction Arms. it is not a collector because someone put a polychoke (which I personally like) on it. Picked it up for the price of a used 870.
Both are wonderful hunting shotguns.
I am trying to determine who they should go to, as none of my progeny (so far) seem more than slightly interested in hunting. If Joe or someone else I mentor becomes an avid hunter, they may get lucky.
