thank you, i picked it up at a farm clearance sale.with some leather ammo belts for a few bucks. but could not find the barrels.
so i thought it might look good as a display item.

Very cool..... You can see those old "rabbit ear" shotguns at the gun shows around here that they sell as "wall hangers'....

Me, I just cant stand having a gun that I can't shoot.
LOL

Surprisingly for an inexpensive coach gun, the barrels are perfectly regulated. It is a using piece, e.g. has terminated ground hogs; also kept next to my bed.

[richard]

just joking

I got me one of those too... mine is a Cimmaron... AND... mine like yours lives under the bed for the things that go bump in the night.

This lives right beside my bed for things that go bump in the night.

It’s 20 gauge baby brother lives on Precious’ side of the room.

Here are the test results.

QS, my 'under the bed' shot gun has ears on it too. A King Nitro. Only cock one barrel at a time as recoil will set off the other one.

Winchester 12 ga. Mod. 1200 Pump. My ex-brother-in-law owned a machine shop when I bought it so I had him cut the barrel off to 18½". For several years it lay between the box springs and the side rail on the cross support boards of the bed. After Linnea and I got together, she nagged and ragged on me to put it in the gun safe. At first I refused because I lived on the shores of a pretty sketchy neighborhood but then I got to thinking, I sleep so sound you could run a freight train through the bedroom and I wouldn't wake up. What made me think it was really any protection? So I moved it down to the gun safe. Shortly after that, my house was broken into and once again, in a tangential kind of way, she was right. More than 20 years later, it still lives in the gun safe.

...jerry, that qualifies you for Mississippi citizenship!!!!..... ...........

Anyone else read this mag?
Not only a lot of info on the guns used all those years ago, but a lot of Wild West history. Only comes out quarterly, but I really enjoy it.

I thought I qualified because I know you.

[carrmillus]

[jerryd6818]

Thanks Tommy. I kinda figured you would.

[Quick Steel]

Steve, though I never subscribed I did occasionally buy one off the rack.

My Winchester 94 30-30 I gave my son for Christmas finally got to Houston yesterday. It was eleven days on the road with five of that spent just sitting in Dallas TX. I don't know what's up with that Dallas hub but I've noticed in the past that anything that comes through there moves at the speed of molasses on a cold winter day.

Ole Winchester home defender. Loaded for bear. Probably be a bad idea to come in uninvited.

I used to have a pump shotgun. But like the two 9mm and two .45 they all went away.
All we have around are a few .22 rifles, a .22 revolver and the .38 I showed a few months ago.
