One Thousand Dollars?! I got TWO for $500CAD about 10 years ago. One was a late model, very tight, the other a 1908 with a weaver adjustable choke which now resides in a landfill. It was my main match shottie after I had a mod. 'thinwall" choke installed. Both of them were good competition guns.
I don't use them much now, as I've reverted to the original gunpowder, and a hammered double.
