SIL gave me his Dad's 1950s vintage Rem 870 Trap gun. Said he had no use for it or space in his safes. So it got a place in the rack in my vault. Story is that it came out of the R&G Club store at Rammstein AFB, in Germany, new, in the 50s

Nice wood and a nice condition for an old 12ga Mod trap gun. They have gotten fairly scarce today.

That's pretty. I cannot imagine giving away one of my dad's guns. I would have made room for that in my safe even if something else had to sit outside the safe.

I have been shooting my 1975 TB weekly since it was new. Replaced a few parts along the way as they can and will wear out or break. Actually, the only original parts are the bolt, barrel and wood.
