I am try to save one:
bought it at auction for 15 dollars as it had a piece of rusted cold blue bottle stuck to it. I had an idea of someone it would be prefect for. 12 gauge all steel weird pickle on the barrel so ugly it is cute and after i cleaned it slicker than my 870 and almost as slick as my model 12 win.
I think they were the same as a high standard model 200. Sold buy sears. It has a nasty rusty spot in the receivers right side and I did what i could for it. It seemed to have a bottle cap of cold blue permanently rusted to the shotgun. pitted there badly. I could have filled the bottom of a coffee cup with rust. but it look pitted and bumpy but hey it is 15 dollars.
It has a weird muzzle brake like my 870's cutts compensator but backwards, medium range choke only.
I put a few rounds of paper shells through it and all was well and I did the same with 7.5 plastic hulls and did not see any plastic pieces in the brake.
What I DID find was the safety is setup for a left hand-er and the shells eject like a right hand er. It must have been some option for right or left hand, Could one just turn the safety the opposite way? It seems weird and being right handed it is totally off base.
It is going to be a gift to a family with a young teen son who is a good kid ( met him waiting a good hour after dark last season with a old Jennings compound bow in shotgun season cause dad had the family single shot shotgun ) I would give it to his dad so he could give it to the boy when he is ready, by the way i took the Kid to his dads truck and we help him drag a doe out of the field that night. Dad wad using a Stevens single shot 12 gauge shotgun. I think they need a pump gun.
if I can turn around the dam safety..... any idea's.... I can spend a little more but not much to help them out. Either way he is getting it ASAP as turkey season is almost here.
Pachmayr Power Pac choke is what it has on it, I assume it can handle a pumpkin ball shotgun slug but i figured I would Ask here before I shot one in it.
Twomoons or bill ,,,,,,, anyone have any ideas?
