Bert H. said In that rifle’s case, the original buyer inexplicably did not pay the extra $2 or $4 for a single set or close-coupled set trigger, or upgraded target sights after paying an extra $12 for the extra length barrel.
If this was bought as a hunting rifle on some crackpot theory that the 36″ brl was “more accurate,” or whatever, there’d be no reason for a set trigger or target sights.
With a 36″ barrel, you have an increased sight radius, that for some may relate to better accuracy. An extra couple of inches makes a difference, all other factors being equal.

So this 36 inch single-shot that didn’t meet reserve and was, “passed” – no one was willing to pay more than $1400 for it???
Correct. It showed a $1400 high bid in my Proxibid watchlist. I forgot about it and when I logged back in it was passed over at that price. I probably would have pushed it a bit further just to have that tomato stake. Could have used it for a curtain rod, at the very least.

Terrible wood to metal fit. Maybe that is why it didn’t make reserve?
Chuck, that isn’t obvious to me, but maybe you’re looking at a higher resolution image than what I see. A plain-Jane .32-40 is the most common of all SS variants, & I wouldn’t pay very much extra for this brl length.
Blow the 4th picture up to full screen. Both stock and forend have gaps.
