I’ve wanted one of these but my gun fund has more wants then gets
I blow down the barrels between loading so none to worried about your looks at the bores
Folks that gave you a ration on that must not be too familiar with front stuffers
20 bore or 20 gage, not 20 caliber

I know it's new but don't make looking down the barrel a habit

Beautiful shotgun

It's NOT A .20 caliber!!! It's a 20 gauge! You can load an oz. of .20 shot or birdshot over a patched powder load in that, or a single 20 gauge ball. Doesn't matter if it is new or not, DON'T POINT IT AT YOUR FACE, DUFUS!

Putting the ramrod in backwards…geeze…read the friggin manual.

@@larrydotsonviet2That mat finish is a bit dull. Rough it off, being careful with the checkering, and "French Polish" some True Oil on it. You will be surprised.
