No. It was one of those right time - right place things. He said it was fired ten times, but it looks more like zero times to me.

I have $745 in it, including the shipping and FFL transfer.

You're pretty sharp . I actually bought it on the chance that a buddy of mine would want it. He's been shooting an old 1187 for 20+ years and he's been talking about upgrading to a Benelli, but has been price shy. When I saw this deal, I figured I'd grab it and see if he likes it. If he passes on it I'll either flip it or keep it as a backup to me trusty SBEII.

M2 American 12 ga. I made a ridiculous offer and he said, "I'll take it."

.... and whatever you decide, don't forget the two other gifts he's expecting for his birthday.

You could also sift through his Internet activities and see what he's been searching for. Disregard the porn. All men do it.

Your best bet would be to give a gift certificate from a well-stocked gun dealer and let him choose what he wants. A gun is a very personal choice item, and although your intentions are admirable, you could easily pick out something that he thinks totally sucks. If you've never heard him mention a particular model or brand of tactical shotgun, then I'd recommend the gift certificate.

What is "cuttest" anyway?

hattles is right. No doubt they'd cover it.

rothie097, I want to buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth.

rothie097, You have "Junior Member" beneath your username. It's appropriate. Madisorwn, I, like mudhen, tend to post whatever I want. Start here http://www.calwaterfowl.org/web2/hunting/regulations/10-11-Waterfowl-Upland-Lands.pdf

Nothing in North America that the 300's can't bring down.

I think you'll find ballistics and recoil difference to be negligible. You can compare them using Federal's Ballistic Software . As for discussion regarding the various benefits of one over the other, click here.

Yes...... someone knows.

The forum software is antiquated and insufficient. If you'll notice when signing up, there are no human verification obstacles like Captcha. Instead, the folks who run the place have tried to block keywords like names of electronic devices and shoes. So far, it's working out great.

Why do you need to order a stock production gun from a gunsmith? Buy it from a Bass Pro, Cabelas, Gander Mountain, or on the net and save money. Once you've received it, take it by your gunsmith's shop and let him measure the bore to satisfy his curiosity.

Ahhhh.. I'll bet you did. Nice piece that I got in a trade. I never even shot it.

Was I buying or selling?

The question has been asked many times. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=m2+vs+sbe2

I do indeed.

Yeah, I know they do. But after having them all out and examining the stock design without them in place, I'm sticking to my original statement.

Why would one want to? They do nothing.

Get one that goes "Pew-pew-pew" when you turn it on. Those are the most awesomest.
