Ok guys, here she is!
Turns out, its actually the 36" bbl version of the Topper 158 with the full choke and 3" chamber. Anyone know of a good site to figure out the age of this fine specimen?
These pictures were taken before I wiped the thing down with hoppes. The bore is perfect by the way, and there are only a few small rust spots on the receiver. I'll search older posts on how to deal with them
Someone mentioned that they got a similar shotgun in highschool, turns out I'm in my senior year. I hope I still have this thing when I'M 71.
Now I just gotta shoot it! I've never fired a 12ga before..should be fun.

Hmm, waterfowler back before steel shot, I reckon. Long barrels had that mythical ability to reach out there. It was myth, but one most people in the 60s bought in to. Certainly looks like a beefy recoil pad, which will no doubt help.
Buddy has a 10 gauge super goose. It's a 34" barrel, but still full choke and pretty worthless in a modern steel shot world. It was the first 10 gauge I had ever fired, though, and he bought it for a hundred bucks. I paid 200 for my new NEF 10 gauge. They have a long barrel waterfowl version, but I got the 24" turkey gun and use it on geese. Fortunately, it has screw in chokes. I put a modified choke in it for steel T shot and it patterns over 90 percent, which is the best pattern I've ever fired from a shotgun. Thing is DEADLY way out there. It came with an Xtra full turkey choke.

Single Shot Guitars?
The geetars are nice and all but the strings are too small and close together.
Its the lower frequencies that matter

Single shot guitar lol.
reminds me of that one episode on the lame gun related tv show where they destroy a guitar so the wanker of the show can have a glorified sparkler. He really wanted a gun/guitar but it didn't work out that way.
