A couple of years back, I picked up a Winchester Model 12 12 ga that had been a US Govt issue ( marked US and the flaming bomb on the receiver) that had likely been a Bureau of Prisons riot gun. Someone had installed a Cutts w/an IC tube. The gun shows some external wear, no rust, and the action shows little use. I picked it up at a pawn shop for something under $180 including taxes. How can you go wrong here? I have an old Lyman adjustable choke assembly on a spare A-5 barrel. IIRC, the adjustable dingus screws right into the Cutts, if I want to, making the old M12 good to go for everything from dove to deer and duck. If it is not in the safe, it rides my ATV.
