You are going to have to resize the pictures for easier viewing. Either make the pixel dimensions smaller or change the resolution so that they are able to be viewed without the scroll bar.
It will make for a more pleasing post.

i grade overall as well as each spot,like internal's wood,blue,patina rust non-original parts...i once started a grading guide about five years ago.was going to post it,but alot of dealers and collector's said it was too hard to follow...........{the few i talked to about it}since the things they graded was less then what my guide showed>{GOD forbid that happen}
because i went into the detail of the gun too much...>instead of the all current ad's.you read nowadays>> 99% gun n.r.a.grades.......the best i have seen!!! hype!!!
if you bought a{ rk.arms} 99% gun you got it.....however i did sell a overall 98%.21ac to a fella once..........for $12,000.00{five years ago> he said his buddies called it 97%
i asked him to define that 1% for me........or how many thompsons his buddy or him saw and owned over the years...............???{good question}
he just got mad!!! i told him i will take it back.......{he replied no thanks i will keep it}>smug bassturd!!!wink!! i think now he want's over $20,000 for it..........WOW that 1% less grade jumped the price $8,000.00 wink!!
it's real hard to grade if you only saw a few to compare it to................but what the heck do i know????

Sorry guys I just have not learned the techniques.
I modified the post to provide links to the J.C. Devine site instead.
I am still curious what everyones opinions on the finish grading are.
I could only speculate at this point.

j.jr. you know when it went to the depot they retrofitted it with better looking part's...they wanted the finish to match...................
and personally i really don't care what they sell for anyhow..........all i wanted was the goldfinger model.....for my display......at the next s.a.r.show..........
i guess i will replace it with a m.g.c. ron
