Mine, a 1948 16 gauge, 26 inch imp cyl. I say "new" because the wood and metal are 100% (minus four little lines on the mag tube where it's been pumped a couple of times)! No powder residue, and I even cleaned cosmoline out of the receiver and off the barrel! It's a new gun! It's sweet and pumps like its on ball bearings.

I don't know how it survived so long in this shape. But I sure am glad to have it! Oh, and yes it shoots MOR (minute of rabbit) too!

Hopefully pics tomorrow!

Trenchgun, I've pulled tht trick to, shooting to get the dogs to come back. Sometimes I wonder who's smarter, me or the dogs.
