Great news man.

Damnit I look like a smacked ass!

I might have mentioned that!

I don't have guns for investments, I have them for shooting. I've bought several refinished guns and gotten a good bargain on them as a result. What do I care? I'm only going to take them in the woods anyhow.

I agree. For a gun with no investment purpose, do what you like. If you are looking to get your money back out of the gun someday, refinishing will leave you screwed. Collectors want to see the patina that developes over time, and they prefer the wood to tell its tale of time.

Beautiful. Does it shoulder nice for you?

That has to be a brutal kick!

I was thinking out loud and on the wrong page about the barrels firing continuously. I was mistaken. I thought the gun had a single trigger. It's 4 am and I'm foggy, but there was an old Stevens from back around then that would go back twice if the trigger was held. As far as your advice...

I beleive the gun you acquired will shoot continuously if you hold the trigger.

I was throwing the negative thing out there just in case. How I type, and how I intend to sound aren't always the same. Now and again I throw that out there if I re read my post and it seems pushy or abrasive. It sounds like you know plenty about guns. Id still have a smith bore scope it or do...

My tone wasnt that of a negative one. I just wouldnt want to see you ruin your gun or yourself. Ill bet a nickel you have 2 3/4" chmabers. Ill also bet that your barrel is not damascus steel. However, from what I gathered, you have a cool old gun that had a good reputation. They were cheaply...

This is not true. First off, your chambers may not be 2 3/4". They need to be measured. Second, modern field loads can blow up a Damascus steel barrel in an instant. Trap loads also. Many of those old guns WILL blow your fingers or face off with todays shotgun shells. Too much pressure from the...

To play it safe, use low pressure loads. Google it. There's a number of companies that make them.

Reloading is certainly where its at. Especially with a pistol. Small primers, readily available brass, often for free, and a few grains of powder. It costs a mere fraction of what store ammo costs. My friend and I were casting our own bullets for .357 mag and when all was said and done, we were...
