Triple header

I bought a bloody 590A1 today and am picking up the Glock tomorrow…why must these people go to the well so often????

:::Text message:::
“..” …Actually, lemme just screencap it:

I already have a Model 12. I bought one a few years back, had the barrel chopped down, and it makes for a handy takedown shotgun that just barely fits in my backpack. But…it’s an old design that features parts that havent been made since they lit Kennedys flame at Arlington. It’s not exactly a primary, secondary, or even tertiary choice for a shotgun. BUT the fact that it takes down is handy.. so I bought one.

This one, which is actually cheaper than the first one I bought, is in pristine condition except for a hairline crack in the stock and some freckling starting to form. 1914 manufacture and it is a strong 90%+. The crack and the slight freckling are all that I can find wrong with it. All the edges are sharp and it’s a gun that looks like it rolled right off the factory floor. Too nice for me to cut down. I’ll take it to the gun show this weekend and see if someone will gimme $300-$350 for it.

But…good grief…July has been a gun heavy month…Win 1200, Win 12, Mossberg 590A1, Ruger AR, Glock .357… I really went overboard this month.

  1. I’d happily spend $300 on a take down Model 12, it can sit with it’s brother I used to hunt squirrel with when I was a mere yout. (What’s a yout? Oh I’m sorry, yoouutthhhhs…)

    Also good to take down and stuff under truck seats. Not every situation calls for a truck rifle, and a shot gun isn’t as paranoia inducing as the Tier One Operator, Dev Gru Approved, light/laser, Night Vision, Ninja Master 9000 M4gery when you get it out.

    Damn SIG716 at a store I frequent has been laughing at me since before the election, if I could get them down $100 I’d actually be willing to put pen to 4473. And I hate 4473s.

  2. What’s the chambers of the Model 12? As it was some time in 1914 that Winchester dropped the 2⅝” and went to 2¾” for all Model 12. You have to be careful as 2¾” plastic shell will fire and eject fine in a 2⅝” chamber.
    Your doing well after all you did not go for the Ithaca lever .22 or did you?

  3. Did you pick up the Ithica? Best prairie dog gun I own. My dad got it for me on my 8th birthday 46 years ago, and I have put thousands of rounds through it and with no problems ever.

    • Nah..its a single shot gun made to look like a levergun…not really my thing.
