I went to an estate auction, they were selling about 15 guns(most went too high for my budget)except for this old WF 12ga pump. The fellow had wrapped camo duct tape on stock and fore-stock piece,yuck.
I talked to the brother of the guy that had died and he said his brother had bought it new in the sixties and hunted deer, turkey and squirrel with it.
It was very dirty, I mean very! I tore it down and really cleaned it, the barrel looks great now and it racks a lot better. I know it's a low-end shotgun, but I only paid $70 bucks for it.
My question is: is it worth maybe re-blueing,re-finishing the stock or should I make a home defense weapon out of it? I think Monkey Wards sold this model made by Mossberg mod#M550ABD.
By the way: great forum
