The bad
Since posting my thread about being interested in a kreighoff/perazzi and asking people's advice I had a touch of bad luck. I came down last Wednesday morning, started the truck to go to work and the exhaust was blowing, I climbed under the truck to discover that some little scrote had nicked my catalytic converter in the night.
So then and there the kreighoff idea came to an end. I am insured and went through my insurance for the repair but wish I hadn't after paying the excess and loosing work time it has cost as much if not more than just replacing it myself, so that was a lesson learnt.
The good
I've just got off the phone to a friend, his father has been an avid shooter for many years but it seems that age has taken its toll and his giving it up, now the gentleman has a perazzi mx8 that I believe he brought from new, I have seen the gun on a few occasions and liked it, the gun has had very little use.
It's a silver action with 30" barrels, top barrel 1/2 choke, bottom barrel m/c with a full set of perazzi chokes and a Monte Carlo style stock.
The gun is absolutely mint bar one thing, the finish on the barrels has gone a purple/maroon colour and is streaked, so what would have caused this? And what is the rough cost of a reblue?
