An old 250/3000 that was going to be thrown away as junk. None of the wood was salvagable. I restocked it. That and the gray metal makes it a rat I guess, but I like it. I kept the old weaver variable on it and it still works good enough. Good on you for saving that 99. Did somebody use it as a tomato stake?

Looks like a tight chamber.

.475 Ackley Magnum, based on a .375 H&H Magnum necked up to .475 should fit the chamber.

Passable buttstock and fore end, muzzle needs work....
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Passable buttstock and fore end, muzzle needs work.... A fair assessment sir...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I am..........disturbed.

What's the old saying about a blind hog finding an acorn. I love used guns. Especially if they have character. Every now and then I'll spy one I just can't live without. Such was the case with this old Greener Trap Gun 12 gauge, 2-3/4" chamber, 32" barrel full choke. Ought to make a fine turkey gun, or up close hog blaster with 00 Buck. May turn it into a slug gun as I found a 12 bore blank that can be contoured and fitted to the gun. Best GWB
