It was the Pigeon Grades that had the "silver" (nitride) receivers, which are much more impervious to corrosion than blued steel. With a Pigeon Grade you also got an improved safety, chrome-lined bores/chambers, lighter triggers, nicer checkering and the option of a POW stock and/or vented side-ribs.
"Killer wood" is cute but it cracks much more easily than wood with minimal figure.
Can be, depending on how the grain is laid out thru the grip....I've had "Killer" and right now a couple better than nice...One K Gun with over 30,000 rounds and a P Gun with 50K plus between myself and the first owner. They haven't split yet..
In addition to knowing more than a few with Killer++++ that are still in one piece.
Exceptional shotguns,,,,, however most of the silver receiver examples looked like they had been engraved with a ball point pen.....
OK, not that bad, but nothing special...rolled???? But at that price point you don't get quality engraving or even close...
