Bought an 11-87 today but thanks to CBI being backed up and my work schedule I won't be able to pick it up for a week. I'll be honest, I don't know how well I did. I'm sure I didn't get the deal of the century or probably even of the week but I know enough to know that this should be a good scattergun. I've bought guns from this shop before for fair prices so I said screw it and bought it without looking into the prices.

I have not decided if I want a VTAC or Vickers sling on it.
Is the boy you were proud of the man you are?

A friend of a friend of a friend wanted to unload this pretty nice 1100 for $300 so I jumped on it. The extra barrel was just lopped off, not terribly but not well either and there's no bead on it so I'll probably have a smith cut it to 18" and put a bead on it, maybe even thread it for chokes. Don't have a plan because I wasn't looking for one of these but I couldn't pass up that price.
A look through the Weaver Quick-sight. It doesn't show up on camera well but if you look really close you can kinda see a red dot in there. The top of the sight has a fiber optic rod and it gathers light and bounces it down into the tube you look through. The bead isn't high enough to co-witness but with taller sights it would be possible.
I hunted grouse with a Winchester Model 12 with one of those Weaver
Quik Point sights on it, yesterday.
The sight has been on the gun since the late 1970s and it still works.
Saw no grouse, unfortunately. Saw a large, single turkey but had no
turkey license.
The old Model 12 in 16 gauge was the first shotgun I took turkey
hunting many years ago.
I still own a 1933 Model 12 in sixteen gauge! An engineering masterpiece.

you guys are killing me w/ the mdl. 12 talk, 1 in 12ga, 1 in 20ga & a mdl. 42 (.410) that are all family pieces that I’ve decided to sell.
Oh no!

This is mine.

Here's the story behind:
I was still living in NJ, and walked into my dealer's storefront to see this shotgun standing in the corner, with it's barrel literally hacked off at 26", at an angle. I inquired, and Jim tells me that he paid 20 bucks for it at an estate sale, and that there's something wrong with the action,because the slide won't move to the rear.
Never owning a 12, I ask what he wanted for it, and he replied 'gimme 50 bucks and it's yours.
Couldn't get the money out fast enough.
Those who know, the 12 requires recoil, or a small push forward on the slide to release it!
I sent it off to Briley in Tx, where they cut her to 25 1/2", and installed their thin wall choke system and an ivory bead... At the time I believe it was $185 and included 3 chokes of choice. I soaked all the internals in fast orange, and the years of crud wiped right off.
It's become my go to turkey gun, foul weather gun, behind the back door gun.
I really like the 16 gauge, and now have 3 shotguns chambered in it.
