So I have been seeing a few guys on here chop down some old single shots so I figured Id give it a go. This is not really for bear defence or anything in particular. I just wanted a fun shotgun to bring camping on canoe trips and fishing trips that could be taken down easily. I figure a 12 guage with a 19 inch barrel should be good to take even a grouse if Im just out hiking scouting for dear next year as well, if I cant hit em with the .22lr. I have a full size shotgun for birds but I am thinking the .22lr is the way to go in the bush but I can break this thing down and just put it in my pack.
So here she is. Actually an unkown manufacturer, with a very interesting release button for the action, and only paid $1oo.
Now I just need to figure out how to get a new bead installed. Was in pretty good shape, but I painted it just cuz I had some krylon laying around. I am gonna look into some camo patterns and prolly do the whole gun. Anyone have any experience painting over bluing. Do I need to sand it or just prime right over it after degreaser? Also does anyone know where to get some swivel studs I can just screw into the wood? I need a set for my .22 as well.
