Picked this one up several years ago from one of our esteemed forum members. Older mossberg 500, full custom. I believe it was some of his best work. 😁

One day I will find a ‘97 that I can afford. Heck I would be OK with a Norinco.

$38.50 maybe $39…
Seriously though, the cowboy action crowd drove the prices up. A chinese trench 97 is worth over $1000.
My wifes step dad bought the gun new in 1959. He had shot one box of shells through it. Somewhere around 1990 I got it from him. I have shot 2 shells in it. It's pretty much like new. Just as tight as the day it came out of the box.

Not sure I’d call that “best work” . Whoever did that is probably a butthole anyway
Stevens model 54. 410 bore. Made sometime between 1932 and 1943.
Found it several years ago at a gun show. Most tables at the show were full of tactical rifles, shotguns and black pistols. But there on one table was this thing.
Missing the bolt. The wood and metal were in pretty bad shape. I walked around the place several times. Each time it would catch my eye for some reason. They guy wanted way too much and what would I do with it.
But I took it home.
I refinished the wood and re-blued the metal.
Then I started my search for the bolt. Couldn't find one anywhere. But, Numrich said they didn't have the bolt but had most parts to build the bolt for a model 54. So based on what Numrich said I started collecting parts to build my own. Spending money and a lot of time collecting all the parts needed to build my bolt. I actually had a complete bolt built. Problem. I don't know what STEVENS MODEL 54, 410 the bolt was supposed to fit, But it did not fit my 54. Came close but No. Got in touch with Numrich. " They actually said I need to cut a Groove in the Receiver so the bolt will work???? ". After 80 years. NOW it needs a groove?????? I still have all the numrich parts. I got so dang mad I wanted no more contact with them.
Anyway, After over a year and a half of searching. Narrowly avoiding a scam. I finally found my bolt. Priceless to me. I will pass it to my Great Grandson.

Picked up a Remington 1100 LT-20. Spent some time yesterday breaking it completely down and giving it a thorough cleaning, replaced the mag spring & piston seal, and oiled it well. Can’t wait to shoot it & use it for dove.
I see you have this for sale. What changed your mind? I look into one of these when I was looking for a 3-1/2” gun. I settled on a Beretta A400 Xtreme. I’m pretty pleased with it but still in the back of my mind want one of those Browning Cynergys
Got another cynergy with 26” barrels.
Oh wow. I have never seen one with a vent rib. That’s cool. Wish my 410 had one. That’s pretty. What year is it? It looks to be in awesome shape
Born in 2007 according to the serial number. I bought it from the original owner a couple years ago. He claims only 10 rounds through it and I have to agree as it looks brand new. I have all 3 original factory chokes with it too. On the fence about posting it in the classifieds. It just sits in the safe unfired by me....
You have to talk with my wife.
Nothing real pretty about this one but it means a lot to me. My grandpaw’s LC Smith Field 20. Will probably break it out opening morning of dove season and switch over to my Beretta A400 Xtreme when the birds get higher.
Hoping to get @NiceOldDouble to do his magic on this when I get some extra cash

Well didn’t expect to add an O/U so soon, but this came home with me this week from Target Shotguns. Went up there intending just to intending to handle a Zoli, but it fit me so well I ended up purchasing. Zoli Z Sport flat rib, color case hardening by Turnbull, engraving by Thierry Duguet.
Picked up this bad boy yesterday. Cant wait to take it to the range.
I’ve never understood why people lay their nice firearms down on concrete/pavement and take pictures. 🙄
It's all I could afford. Spent all my money on the gun.
I know, I was joking back.
