Thank much. Do you know if there is a value to this gun ? Pits are shallow.

Just a guess Dave, but if it's a shooter I would think 500.00 up to 1000.00
They made almost 10,000 O grades and condition is everything. That said I like taking a well worn gun out and enjoying it and not having to worry about devaluing it. Bob |

Bob thanks so much for the info.It is a shooter, any suggestion on tweaking it for say maybe some skeet or birding, is modern powder ok to shoot in it ? I understand low loads. Thanks again, your knowledge is greatly appreciated........Dave

I reload and shoot 7/8 oz. 12 ga. in mine... easy on my shoulder and wood of gun. I try and keep pressures at around 5 or 6 thousand pounds, if you don't reload you can purchase vintage loads at RST.
I would have gun checked first like I mentioned earlier, these guns where used with black powder and could have been heavily pitted and then cleaned up at a latter date making it unsafe. Give us you location and maybe some one can direct you to a smith to evaluate it. |

That dog just knows a good gun when it sees one!
