It looks like it'll clean up pretty nice.
Mind telling how much you paid for it? I'm curious because there's one shop around here that has one that looks similar to that one that's going for 49 dollars and I'm debating whether I want to get it or not

My info says they were made from 1953-55, in 12 and 16 ga. The adjustable choke was stock from the factory. Have fun with it.

cleardiddion, $49 ! That would definately be in my closet today. The adjustable choke is worth that much.

I paid more then $49. But not much more.

I am sad to report that I will be returning it to the seller. I have a 30 day warranty. The shell carrier jams tightly into the frame. I guess thats to be expected when a shot gun is over 50 years old.
