He was original owner and bought in Pennsylvania. There, they used shotguns, with slug barrels, for deer. But, neither him nor I are hunters. This was skeet for discipline and breathing. Dad was in Korean War. But, we never went. Shotgun probably has shot 30 rounds, total, and not since ~1995. It's been in a case in garage since and therefore there is some pitting on barrel and very minor expansion (Zoom in. See how minor, as it's hard to see.) and contraction on the stock. 12 gauge. 22" barrel. Rated 6/10 by very knowledgeable people. Parts or exchange barrel, but good gun. Firm.
