Had 6 of those 1878 SxS actions with buttstocks and forends but no barrels come in at the shop one day. They'd been in a basement that flooded and were all rusty and the wood was swollen and moldy. I think the guy that brought them in just gave them to us. We parted them out and sold off the bits and pieces for a penance but I did keep a buttplate for my collection.
Why the guy had 6 of them and where the barrels went I'll probably never know. The things you see in a gunshop.
