Anvil,
Nice Greener... Of all the "odd-ball" shotgun we have seen so far, that one has been on my list of things to get for a while
Is this one in standard 12g, or is it in that in their weird 14g?

sillymike said:Well, I've got two shotgun that could qualify as "inexpensive odd-ball"...
First, the Old stuff... A Marlin take down pump. It's been sitting in the project box, untill I decide to get involve in Cowboy action shooting!
Second, the "new odd-ball", A TOZ 21-12. I guess it's the russian version of the auto-5. I never fired an real Browning auto-5But the design really does a good job at tamming recoil. And for a little over $300, they were a pretty good deal
Shown here with the top cover removed to show how the barrel moves in the action.
The coz shotgun is more a copy of Rem 11-48 with removable cover,the A5 was a humpback!
Great looking shotguns.I would like to buy the Marlin(IM Me )

It is a 12 ga. 2 3/4" with a regular firing pin. It is a fun gun to take to the range but I always have to remeber to put my thumb on the thumb rest and not over the stock.
I too had a darne that i sold.lots of history mint when left in Germany with a brother of guy I got it from.when it arrived in Alberta years latter it had no blue,a shorter stock and was an eye sore. It still shot & was a lot of fun.I now have an EGG bouble from London,outside hammers damascus barrels & prob. the best splice of metal over a dammaged wrist. The gun is loose,short on both ends (coach ?)but is still a neat gun.

TimC,
I guess it missed your post I couldn't quite make out the picture... That gun is not mine, I just did a quick search on the web to see what a Sjogren was suppose to look like! It's different alright...

Hi, I have an Iver Johnson. It's a 20ga single shot champion model. My grandfather bought it when he was young and handed it down to me and i just got it completely rebuilt, very nice looing gun now IMHO and works like a top. Does anyone know what this shotgun is worth?

I used to have a double 16 gauge made by tobin arms in woodstock ont . a friend gave it to me it was his father's. maybe I should'nt have sold it but I could;nt hit a dam thing with it as with most doubles I've had. and awhile ago I gave away a snider that was converted to 12 gauge black powder to a buddy then I found out what it was worth. they called it a cook's gun.it was used to get game to feed the troops back in the 1800s. I guess I'll have to do some researchnext time before I give things away!
I just finished refinishing the stock on my 12 Ga Tobin...rubbed oil...looks great...now the barrels need a touch up.
Grouseman...I have seen Sgt. Shultz's S+W 3000...in fact, I was there when he bought it new back in about 1984 (I was the other 16 yr old standing beside him at the counter in the hardware store) and it is mint...he never EVER shoots it! They are pretty much a rip off of an 870 but are really cool nonetheless...it came with screw in chokes which was pretty cutting edge back then!

I have a Remington 12 ga "Sportsman" based on the Auto-5 patent. It came from the factory with only a 2 round mag, yet it was made in 1943 for the US Navy and saw guard duty at Fort Peperell (sp?). It has US and flaming bomb on the receiver, and anchor and flaming bomb on a 20 in barrel, among other marks.
NR Davis single barrel modified
My Father and I have been playing with home made rifling machines for a few years. Rifled a couple old single barrel shotguns and put scope mounts on them to try out for deer hunting. We load up the new lyman wasp style slug and have used this combination for a couple of years. It is surprizing how it shots and in the last 2 years I have fired 5 shots and got 5 deer

I have a sxs 12 gauge made in Belgium. The Barrels arte not damascus.
The steel has never rusted or pitted, even though it fell in the sal####er.
The steel is very strange. Still smooth as silk, a real lustre to it.
The wood is a straight french stock. Outside hammers.
There is nothing else on the gun but crown, key, and a star stamp.
It was pops Eider gun, and I took it i outta the barn about 10 yrs ago after finding it in the rafters.
