I have had this gun lying around for years. Tried to sell it to a gun store.
They didn't even offer anything. So I decided to have it done over.
Price was very reasonable. It came out great. I wish I had before pictures.
16 gauge of course, 30" barrels I had opened to Skeet/IC and 2 3/4" chamber.
I'll try to get more and better pictures.

Looks like a gun to be proud of. Should be great on the clays field with those chokes. Have fun with it.

My former neighbor picked it up at a gun show about 15 years ago for $400.
When he moved several years ago we did a little horse trading. I got the H&A and an 870 Competition Trap gun and I gave him a nice 20 gauge Sears branded SxS and some cash.
We shot it when he owned it. The stock cracked at the wrist. I never shot it after that not wanting to damage it further. Barrels were all rusty, receiver was in the white, but it was all there and no buggered screws.
I found some 3/4 to 7/8 oz. (350 gns #9s) reloads I made. They will be the ticket this coming Wed.

Shot it last night. 22, 22, and a 21. Worked perfectly.
A little hard to close sometimes until I saw that the brass was hitting the firing pins since there are not return springs in it.
Was really fun.

Those non-rebounding hammer guns are a hoot. Glad you enjoyed her. Hammer guns are addictive!
