Lets see some pics, sounds like a great gun, an expensive shell in one barrel and a cheap shell in the other.local store had one years ago I wished I had bought it. I dont think there that heavy compared to other 10s.

I had a 12 version many years ago . I thought it was invector but can't remember so don't hold me to it. It was a cool gun but not well regulated and very heavy so I sold it for an sx2

Let me know if you ever want to sell or trade for it.  I would be interested.

Very nice!  I've looked for one for years.  Be sure and mic the chokes if they are not labeled.  My 1956 Uptebaru with 32" barrels was made for high flying waterfowl and even though it is marked M and F the barrels muzzles mic'ed out at 0.724 and 0.715.  Neither of which  what I would call modified!
