That's exactly like the one my brother bought from Jamesway for 39.95 as his first shotgun back in the '70's. I still have a picture of him and me with him holding that gun and 7 dead cottontails spread out in front of us that we killed after school one day. Scribbled on the back of the pic it says "seven rabbits in 45 minutes after school".

I was thinking about tubing it. But I'll likely leave it as is for a squirrel gun. If you thread it for tubes..........it's a 30 second transition between squirrel gun and all-out turkey hamma. Just sayin'

Just sayin' We killed a bunch of turks with the one my brother had with it's mod. choked barrel and 3" Winchester XX magnums. Some of them at distances nobody would believe could be done without a 3" 12 and extra full. We did a lot of night time predator calling back then too {fox pelts brought darn good money} and he killed a bunch of those with that 20 gauge and 3" number 4's too.

The inside diameter at the muzzle is .585 on the nose. It might throw a pretty good pattern of TSS #9 with a .585 choke.

Glocks, that is a great looking little 20 for sure, congrats on the find. I would give it a try with the TSS before you did anything, you might get lucky. At worst, you are out a shell or two but it could save you some money if it is a shooter. You going to put sling swivels on it or run the sling that chokes the stock and barrel?
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Hadn't thought about it. Would prefer not to make any modifications for now.

I always did like CCH guns X2 I've got a nice, un-modified receiver with a (so far) 2-barrel set here (20 gauge & .30-30) with nice CCH on it.

Got a buddy that has a 45/70 in one as well. It shoots really well, but with a good hand load will get your attention

I always did like CCH guns Same but it has to be the "right" one. As well as Turnbull does CCH, looks wrong on a 1911 frame/slide. Looks right on a SAA or shotgun tho.

This one is about the size of a youth gun, 13" L.O.P., 22" barrel, also choked .585". I do have some 3" TSS #7's that I'll try prior to any choke work. Probably replace the recoil pad with an actual recoil pad and use it for the youth hunts I sponsor on my property. But before that, I have to fully field test it! Just to make sure it's up to standards...

Dean, are you thinking of putting a red dot on it?

Yes. I'd like to have a spot milled for the footprint of one of the smaller dot sights.

You could drill and tap and bed the sight and not mess up the camo dip as much, just a thought. Be sure and post up a picture or two when you get it done.

Grew up deer hunting in a shotgun/bow only county. At 9, dad had me shooting a youth 20ga single with of course 3in 00 magnums. Plastic buttplate. That thing was brutal.
Pattern must have sucked, I was 9, had a doe and yearling start feeding under a crabapple tree at about 25/30 yards. Killed them both one shot. Deer career has been downhill ever since.

Good story! 00 buck is not a handicap under the right conditions. It's deadly on deer. I grew up hunting shotgun-only counties and we just accepted 00 was what it was and your deer had to be 40 yards or closer. In our jungles, that's not that hard. Most were that close and closer. I mainly use slugs now, but I still use 00 for deer. I call it my weekend load. Because I know on Fridays and Saturdays, the hunt clubs will be out running their hounds and many of the deer on those days are moving fast not paying terrible attention to what they are running towards, only what they are running from. I've had deer run by so close I could almost reach out and touch them. In thick cover, under those circumstances, 00 is the best deer round there is.
