OK, since we appear to have some knowledgeable folks here today, did I do alright getting this one for $50?

And, should I turn in into a dedicated turkey gun with some modifications perhaps? DuraCoat paint? Plain ol' Krylon? Just rust brown the metal? Maybe have the barrel cut and threaded for tubes?

See how it shoots with various non-lead ammo before doing anything with the barrel? (Cali, you know)

Seems by the serial number it was born a year after I was, I was kinda hoping to get lucky and find one made the same year as I was.

Yep, it's been poorly taken care of, but not by me. Got it to help out a friend, who's wife's ex got toasted by the cops, she didn't want the gun hanging around. Apparently not so well taken care of before and after the incident, imagine that.

So, ideas anyone? Boat anchor? Worth a little of my time? Sell it in parts and pieces?
