Of all people, my old buddy Sasakwa is really trying to do me in.
Knowing that I've got 300 acres to get ready to plant wheat, 40+ hours a week at the plant, food plots to get ready, a throw-out bearing to replace on a tractor, a bearing and some blades to replace on a disk, & hunting seasons less than a month away, He does this to me!
He gave me a genuine *******/hillbilly model 12 Winchester shotgun. ;D Knowing my inability to have anything, especially a gun in a non operating condition thats not appealing to the eye, he knowingly and willingly put it in my hands, and said "do with it what you want". :-*
We looked it up, and it was built in 1928, the same year my dad was born. Its not a shooter yet, as the slide won't lock up, but in looking at it, thats fixable with a spring I'm thinking.
The real challenge is going to be in the stock. This is where the *******/hillbilly comes in....... somebody tried to refinish the stock, and did an extremely poor job with sanding marks all over the wood, and a buttstock you won't believe. If I told you, you would say I'm lying, so here are the pics. The buttstock is make of the belting material used on old tractors, or maybe old brake lining. I don't know for sure
