I bought a St. Louis Browning A5/Remington 11 in 16 ga. about 15 years ago. The barrel had been cut down and rifle sites installed. It wasn't a priority search, but I'd been looking for a plain barrel, mod choke , since I'd bought the gun. I'd located a barrel for it about 5 years ago in Texas, but the guy wanted crazy money for it($450.00). I'd look at gun shows and had my Lgs, who I bought the gun from originally, put it on his "search" list. Well today I went to that LGS to get a scope mount for another rifle and was looking through some stuff he'd bought from an estate sale, and was just pricing. There amongst the other barrels and guns was a like new 28" plain barrel in 16 ga. I asked him if he was going to call me about that barrel and he said "why do you need one? It had been about 6 years or so since we'd last talked about it and of course he'd forgot about it. He sold me the barrel, base and a set of 1" med weaver rings for $120.00. I reminded him I was still looking for a S&W mod 631. LOL
