This is an interesting gun, I picked it up more on a whim then anything. Although it looks like cosmetic damage in some of the pics, its not, this gun is in very good condition. I have never had much luck with ANS parts, but it's a nice enough piece I'd like to try and it looks good in the collection. I really don't remember much of anything on these guns, they were a pretty limited edition. This is a 99 version, and any background on this series would be of interest. This is the prelude to the gen x series, and carries a lot more milling then the later standard gen x lines until recently. I haven't miced the barrel, but it does not appear to be the 3 stage barrel ANS briefly made, though it shares the general appearance.
