Shotgun Picture Thread

There's a good one picture thread going that merely fell away a bit: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/shotgun-picture-thread.882441/

Todd.

A few with decent pictures:

The S&W iteration. I have the matched 12 as a Dickinson.

I have the S&W as well; great gun. My triggers are a tad stiff, but it patterns well and smokes the 5 stand targets

The AKUS guns are fantastic value for money. I really want one of their 7 pin H&H pattern sidelock guns (as in the Kimber Vallier).

THAT was a WOULDA/COULDA/SHOULDA when they went on closeout. I bought my Elite on closeout for half price and should have done the same with the Kimber.........

Here are a couple of mine. In case it isn't obvious, I really like SxS guns:

Baikal IZH-43, 12 gauge. Just a good, solid, all-round double gun for whatever comes it's way:




My pet, a BRNO SLE 12 gauge. I call it my "communist Purdey"; its choked LM/WS1 and is pure murder on things that fly:



Winchester M24 16 gauge, from 1939; it has a 4 digit SN. Contrary to popular opinion, it handles quite well; not as well as the BRNO, though.



One of my favorites, is this Winchester 1897 12 gauge. It was built in 1914, shipped to a local hardware store, and has not strayed far from this area that I'm aware. It's still tight, and shoots quite good:



And finally, the "kitchen door gun"; this is the one that accounts for most of the critters in the yard/garden/chicken-house. It's a Stevens model of 1913 (I think); I bought it for $50 at a yard sale somewhere. The wrist of the stock has been repaired with leather and it locks up... mostly. However, using Aguila SV #2 shot, it has accounted for several would-be chicken thieves and vegetable raiders:



My apologies for the poor pictures; I shoot better than I photograph! There are a couple others that I don't have pictures of, my collection of M37 Winchesters being the main ones, and my M12 16 gauge. Will try to add those pictures later. Enjoy!

Use to have quite a few more back in the days when I went hunting but ran out of people to go hunting with and places to hunt on. Had a couple of Remington 870s, an 11-87, a Beretta 680, and a Franchi Renaissance. What I have left is a Mossberg 9200 set up for turkey hunting, a Maverick 88 for home defense, a Winchester 1300 20 gauge (which I converted from an upland game gun), to also being used for home defense. And then there's also my trusty Marlin 200 single shot shotgun and a Richland Arms Zabala Hermanos S/S 20 gauge.

Ive got 3 that make me happy.
Top is the Stevens/Springfield 16
Middle is the Pedersoli 12
Bottom is an old Columbia 16

I just love em, keep em comming!!!

Older pic of my 870s...

Interesting thread going here. Might as well make some contributions occasionally. I'll start with one I picked up as part of a package deal almost 2 years ago. A nice, lightly used, 20 ga. Mossberg 500 with a factory installed adjustable court that Mossberg called a " C-Lect Choke". It's an earlier model 500 that only has one action slide bar. Now that I'm retired the downsizing has begun and I'm contemplating putting this one up for sale but haven't made a final decision as of yet because it's the only 20 ga. here and I'm kind of fond of it. .. ... ..

Posted elsewhere, my 1959 Model 12 that was used by security at Dow Chemical near Houston. My favorite shotgun!

My old 12ga. Springfield 5100 by Savage/Stevens, same as a 311 SXS, a little less fancy I guess.

Still has some nice case colors on the receiver, not too shabby for a 70+ year old gun.

I have four shotguns,here is a couple of them. Mossberg 500 Persauder 12 ga. pump shotgun with a ATI folding stock. & Stevens Savage 320 12 ga.pump shotgun.

As posted in the other pic thread also...

Rem. 1100 (12g)
Winchester 1200 (12g)
Stevens 5100 (16g)

Pic of the whole gun messed so I will retake it later but
Auto 5 final tribute, 1 of 1000 SN 03XX

My 1910 model 97 Win. Riot gun. Someone had totally refinished it before I bought it and that's ok. I didn't want a newer tactical style. This is my HDG.
