I was thinking of making a Clyde Barrow whippet gun. Cut stock down, attach canvas strap loop, cut barrel to 19".
Anyway, found another Savage 720 on a popular auction site and was pleased that the auction ended with no other interest. Adding shipping, I still got it for about what a barrel costs.
Now that I have it, it's too nice to chop up. 4 digit serial, should be early 1930s production, perfect wood, clean, no rust or pitting, nice faded blue with no major defects. Only flaw is a poly choke.
Darn it, now what should I do with a hundred dollar auto-5?
