    I’m no expert on the Super Lights. I don’t care for their appearance, high grade or not. And some were prone to the stock cracking. Still, if I were carrying it a lot and shooting it a little, I might be interested.

    That would be the draw for me. A hunting gun. Carry a lot, shoot a little.
    And even if it kicked harder, shooting at game it wouldn’t be very noticeable.

    While I think about it, weren’t the Double Autos a lightweight alloy frame?

    I believe most were, with the originals being steel. I’m not sure if steel was an option throughout production.

    Tag looks like $1649. It wouldn’t last at that price around here.

    $1649 it’s on consignment. I offered $1500 and am impatiently waiting for a reply

    If there’s a counter offer, and you’re tempted to take it, make it out-the-door. Let them eat the sales tax.

    In fact, I just did the math. $1600 out the door makes for a sales price of $1495 if your sales tax is 7%.

    I will still have to pay shipping. Rudolph what do you think of the gun

    I thought it was local. There probably is no sales tax.

    I like it more than I thought I would. The receiver looks like steel, which the early Super Allege had. I could learn to live with the square knob, I guess. It’s worth $1500, I’d say.

    I’ve read on a few forums there were only 500 of them imported here.

    I’m not crazy about the square knob but that stick of walnut is pretty nice

    Well I am happy to report the seller accepted my offer and is paying the shipping too. He said it doesn’t cycle Federal Premium shells very well

    Congrats, I’m sure that won’t be an issue. I bet a little work and they will cycle.
