BiebsEd Good Appraisals-Francestown NH
If you're into older SxS shotguns, I have a head's up. Ed Good in NH is an appraiser, and lists many older classic SxS shotguns on Gun Broker. I bought a vintage SxS from this company, but when I mounted the barrels, they were loose. I tried to return it, but was told that since the action is tight when the forend is attached, it is "shootable", and no return would be accepted. The forend is a part of the action's lock-up (???). I sent him several articles on checking a SxS for wear looseness just as I had done, and he said that was a matter of opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if most of his listings are beater guns, waiting for sale with no chance of return, to become someone else's headache. Steer clear.

JoezedEvery thing you need to know about that dimwit seller is at doublegunshop.com. There is nothing good to say about him.

BiebsYes, several people have sent me links to other "issues" with this guy. Sounds like the same old crap. I blaster him in Feedback on GB...maybe that will alert some folks.

StormsGSPSorry to hear that Biebs. As Joezed said, this guy has been torching guns and buterching fine doubles for years. Absolutely one to avoid.

xs headspaceThat idiot got himself thrown off Doublegunshop forum. Saw a photo of a shotgun he had for sale, had phony case colors, done with a torch.
