Went to the range for a little while after dinner to see if my $100 shotgun actually did what a shotgun is supposed to do.
Took two ancient boxes of Remington Game Loads to the range.
Pros: Shotgun goes bang every time. Double triggers are easy and a second shot is effortless to get, whether you use rear trigger first or front trigger first. Shotgun shoulders well and the forend allows for a nice firm grip. 2.75 inch chambers (extractors, not ejectors). I don't like chasing ejected shells. I like the Greener style crossbolt, as well.
Cons: Hammer springs from hell. Takes eleven men to pull back the hammers. Kicks like a pissed off mule. (That is the first time I have said that about any shotgun).
Verdict: I love the thing. It's probably going to be a supplemental HD gun and occasional range gun.
Barrels are fixed choke (Modified and Improved Cylinder).
The bluing and wood are not ideal. The shotgun is not too refined, but built like a battleship. I have a feeling this gun was not very used at all. It's a little stiff like a new shotgun and locks up tight.
