Had to go to Home Despot today for couple of things. Now that we've moved up to Western Howard County, the closest Despot is in Eldersburg, MD. While taking a scenic trip down the main road, I came upon a pawn shop that I've been wanting to check out for a used 20-ga shottie for my kids to grow into. They had some of the usual guns: Win. 94, sporterized Mausers, etc. But one gun in particular caught my eye. An 870 Riot Gun with an 20" bbl, tootsie roll fore-end, nice stock, original red Remington pad - it was UNFIRED and marked at $259. I commenced to talk to the proprietor, checked the gun out, and asked what the best he could do on it was. "$225 - cash."
"Where's the nearest ATM?"
And off I went to get some green stuff.
The gun belonged to retired Baltimore City cop who bought her during the April '68 riots in the city. He never shot it. I don't think he ever took it down and gave it a good scrubbing, as it still has alot of factory grease in the receiver and the barrel... Sadly, the original box is long gone, but it came with all of the original paperwork and a nice soft-leather case.
Manufactured in 1967.
The 40 Year Old Virgin, indeed!!
UNFIRED. . . I think I will take her cherry this Friday, though, with the Geezers.
All in all - today is was a great day
