I'll see what I can do..... Dave

You cycled it with live ammo? That's third base. It's just a matter of time now.

If it was a mint pre-64 Winchester or a NIB Triplelock I'd say don't, but it's a workhorse not a showpiece. I'd fire it if it was mine. Dave

I don't have the capability to send photos. That's probably good since I take horrible photos anyway. Mine is just a normal 121 M1 with the exception of the stock finish. I got bored with the standard oil finish and gave it a nice even cherry/Danish oil finish. It didn't really start looking good until the 5th or 6th coat, but she's got a much nicer red glow to her now. While I had the stock off I also repaired a small crack that appeared at the top of the stock behind the receiver. I assume it was caused by recoil. A little glue and it's hard to spot now. I'll see if I can't find someone with a digital camera that could post some photos of it. BTW, I'm glad to hear it's not obsolete. Dave

Great shots. But do you mean that 121 M1s are vintage? I use mine as my main home defense and SHTF shotgun. Is it time for me to upgrade? If so, what should I buy? Thanks, Dave

I've got a 121 M1 that must be close to 20 years old by now. I've only put a few hundred rounds through it, but I'm not the first owner. Are there any problem areas I should be aware of? Any other opinions of this shotgun? I remember when it first came out in the 80's that it was well received and it got alot of good press. Are they still well thought of? Thanks, 12GaDave
