[ronterry]

Was a little bord, and this was sitting on the rack, so I thought I would share a little...

Gotta say, that would made for some real fun but could have some very serious uses as well!

Here's a re-do of a real basic Stevens I had...

This is the old, nasty basic brown paint-looking finish that was on it... and I found a pretty nice grain pattern under all that cheap coating (the forestock hadn't been sanded yet, but I suddenly remembered to grab the camera BEFORE I eliminated the "before" look!!!

This is just prior to my shipping it out to Colorado to have some laser engraving done to the wood while it was sanded down. DRATS!!! I forgot my computer doesn't have the "after" photos on it yet... I'll post those over the weekend, if I get a chance! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I have one of those Chicom 12 gs. SxS coach guns that has given good service for years. I had to have a buddy tighten up the joint a tad as I was getting some misfires, but hey, for $250 I wasn't expecting a Parker. I shoot roll crimped BP loads in mine & it's a hoot. "BOOOOOMMM!!!!" :yikes:
Of course, NOTHING is as intimidating as staring into TWO 12 ga. barrels at close range. "Yessir, I was just leaving!!" :biggrinjester:

[GLOCKENNBOOMER]

There's just something about a double barrel.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

Heavy dose of 3" 00 buck would be a handful in one a those.

Heavy dose of 3" 00 buck would be a handful in one a those.

I loaded up some once with 90 gr. FFg BP and 1 1/8 shot. :yikes: In that lil' coach gun it was like a howitzer!! Killed on both ends.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

Do ya put your off hand on top of the barrel instead of under it so it doesn't hit you in the forehead?

[creophus]

Never seen a shotgun fired like that before. Seems like if you gotta do it that way, you aught not be firing it.

[ronterry]

Great something to look forward to, since haven't shoot this yet. I have a load of s-perince with 458 Lott, so I should survive :)

nitesite I measured the business end, and it comes out to .729...True cylinder???

Boltnut, just let me know the time & place for the exchange...I will even through in a gun sock...

[BoltNut]

My finished product pictures are burried in a bunch of photos from Creophus' wife's wedding shower my wife threw, so now I have to sort them out... I'll try to get them done tonight AFTER I figure out how to play with my new cellphone! (LG-Rhythm) :)
