I did get the scoop on that M23 yesterday in a phone call. It does have 28" barrels bored modified and full with a single trigger, rib and nice engraving. It did come with a leather bound Winchester case with a brass Winchester plate. Mike sent me some pictures that show it to be in great shape. He bought it back around 2005 and has never fired it. The gun is in central Florida.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
