The Dumpster Darling

75 Upvotes

Long story short, old job of mine was run by a rich douche with no care for anything. Guy cleaned out his dad's house and emptied the garage remnants in the huge dumpster at work. One thing included was a rusted, stuck solid 1897 Takedown, from 1912. I took it home, he didnt want it. Got it apart, made sure it was clear (it was). Years later its been sitting in my closet. Decided to play with it. Originally was a 30" full choke barrel, end of the barrel was in rough shape so I cut it to 18.75". Bore is shiny now! Just need to drill/tap for the original bead.

The stock was cut down at some point with a horrible rubber pad job, so I gave it some field medicine with a DIY rubber pad and some medical bandage (i think it looks cool until I can find a new stock for it)

Cleaned it up best as I could for now, tore the whole action apart and cleaned/lubed it. It is butter smooth! Test fired a few rounds of bird shot, shot great. Put a couple rounds of winchester 00 buck through it today at at yards and im quite happy with the spread.

I dig it so far, its been a fun project.

Slug Gun : Mossberg 500 Field/Deer vs Winchester SXP Extreme Deer

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, just picked up a Mossberg 500 Field/Deer specifically for a slug gun with the rifled barrel. While I was at the store I looked at the Winchester SXP Extreme Deer with the pistol grip. The Mossberg was on sale for $650 from $750 and (I did not know this until after already purchasing the Mossberg) that the SXPwas on sale for $680 from $815. The 500 comes with a field barrel but I will not be switching barrels out as I have other guns for water fowl and turkey. Just looking for some input. Did I make the right choice? Should I return the Mossberg for the SXP? Bought on a whim with little research. Thanks for your help!

I’ve got an older super black eagle that is a work horse. I’d like to attach a sling so it’s a little easier to carry it into the marsh.

I’m the market for a sxs

6 Upvotes

I was hoping to get some help in my search for an older sxs preferably straight stock 20g with a double trigger. Something classic that can still handle modern shells. Any suggestions? I don’t really want to pay more than around $2500. There are so many older gun manufacturers out there and I’m a bit overwhelmed. Thanks!

Best Upland 20ga?

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

Currently using my newborn daughter as an excuse to buy a 20gauge (she’ll eventually need her own, right?)

I’m not a competition shooter but I do run upland frequently behind my dog and my current shotgun - a 12 gauge Benelli Ethos.

I’m leaning 828U simply because I love my Ethos. I happened to get my hands on a Silver Pigeon the other day and it was unbelievably nice and made me think.

What other options should I be looking into?

Just wanted to see what people think about this style stock? Any advantages or disadvantages to having a pistol grip? It Would be used on home defense Maverick 88. I do like the adjustable stock that works for my wife 5'4" and me 6'1".

Any advice is appreciated!

I already have a Maverick 88 but I want a super cheap pump action/semi auto shotgun

2 Upvotes

Any pump/semi guns that are so cheap I won't mind if they break or they're cheaper than a Maverick 88 but still a solid gun?

I've seen H&R Pardner Pumps for around $200 on Gunbroker

What keeps this forend attached to the barrel? Good fit, it’s definitely the one that goes with the gun. Nothing looks broken but I can’t figure out how to latch the forend to the barrel.
