Remington 11-87 Special Purpose. Broke during the first box of ammo. Remington wouldn't send a replacement part. Bye-bye Remington autoloaders.
I had the exact same first shotgun, except a couple of years later version. The C-Lect choke and a few inches of barrel parted company with me and the rest of the gun one fine day. Mossberg fixed it, but I sold it quickly. Never could hit anything flying with it in any event.The first shotgun I ever purchased was a 1957 Mossberg 185-K bolt action 20 gauge that I used for trap shooting. The barrel had a factory vented barrel with rectangular cutouts just behind the factory PolyChoke.
