Great snag for $175.00 !!! If you don’t like it, I’ll take it off your hands, and give you your money back for it. 😬

It's possible.........the threading for choke tubes. We've got 5 of them here. 4 done and one waiting to be done.
I send mine to William Lambert at SumToy Customs. He does great work and his tubes are second to none.

Hard to believe a break open single costs that much today. I remember my younger brother bought a brand new H&R 20 gauge for his first shotgun when he was in junior high for 39.95.

Congrats - that's a great price for the 20. Post pics when you pattern it. Bet it would shoot well with TSS straight 8.5 or 9s. I have the same gun but in 12 gauge. The 12 was factory threaded for Win chokes. Had SumToy drill/tap it for fiber optic sights couple years back and patterns Hevi-13 straight #7s nicely through a .660.

They were the NWTF gun of the year in the early 90s, and that factory dipped original Mossy Oak Bottomland makes them particularly desirable. They can fetch twice that or more on the big online auction sites. Came in 20, 12 and 10 with the 20 being harder to find.

But yes, just like everything else... I bought a couple used singles back in that same time frame for 25 bucks apiece. I remember you could buy a new Stevens single shot .22 from the hardware store in town for 34.95 or a bolt action repeater for 44.95. Guess I'm just getting old.

I remember buying a 20 gauge standard finish version way back then in a pawn shop used, but like new for $25 bucks. I cut the barrel down to 20” with a pipe cutter, and cut the rear of the butt stock off with a saw to make it a pistol grip. Kept it in our old JD 4020 Tractor for a snake gun when I’d have to spend all summer plowing our wheat fields.

You're gonna LOVE that gun once you get it set up to kill turkeys. I went that way about 5 springs ago. Now my SX2 and SX3 (and all the others) just sit. Your new toy is.......metal to metal.......the exact gun I started with in putting mine together. At any reasonable turkey shooting distance, you'll never tell the difference between it and a 3 1/2" 12 gauge with lead shot.

The CCH does jump out. It looks really good. It's got some rust freckling from finger prints. Hopefully those will come off. That spot in the trigger was old grease and it wiped off.
I was thinking about tubing it. But I'll likely leave it as is for a squirrel gun.
