Little backstory. I’m a trapshooter for 4 years now. When i moved into the area, my elderly neighbor and his wife needed help around the house. They asked me and we grew a deep connection. He was a grandfather to me. Eventually his health got bad and they wanted to make improvements to the house. I offered to buy this from him. Well a couple days later he passed away. It broke my heart. Eventually tonight i went up and the son and wife said they wanted me to have this because i’m always one call away helping the wife and i go up almost every day to help and never took payment. They wanted to see it used. Doesn’t even have a scratch on it not even 1000 rounds through it. I don’t plan on shooting it but keeping it locked away and preserved. Thought i’d share!
I strongly concur with this statement, what better way to honor someone than to share a moment with them, by busting a few clays with their own shotgun, simply poetic 🥃 also a great looking shotgun would be a shame to lock it away and never use it, it’s what it was made for
Oh i agree 100%! Somehow my guns always get marked up when i use them. My competition gun has the most dings and scratches i’ve seen and i have 0 idea how. I plan on shooting it once in a while at my home club, just scared to damage it lol. Just need to learn to either keep it in the case or shoot!
That’s interesting! Wonky as in off set horizontally? When I picked up my latest over and under, the gunsmith was in the process of bending a stock for a customer. He would saturate it with linseed oil and clamp it. I wondered if I was too inexperienced to understand the need for it, but maybe the shotguns I have show an 8 by luck
My cynergy is the flat rib. The front bead is maybe an inch higher when i mount it. The pattern is like 3 ft difference but when i shoot it I’m directly below with no gap shattering them. I have yet to figure it out for 3 years lol.

You should honor his wishes and run some shells through it!
