Well, folks, ONE of those two hundred some odd million is mine, specifically the Stevens-Savage 12 Guage pump-action shotgun (a picture of which I found on the web....)

A local gunsmith who is Range Officer for one of the local police departments turned me on to one of his techniques for exterior maitenance. He uses the metals polish and restorer called "Flitz", the homepage of which can be found here. I swear to Gawd, people, that Flitz stuff will take the storage residue right off, and he's sworn by it for years. That shot barrel was as smooth as a baby's a$$ when Mike got done with it. This is for exterior use only and is no substitute for standard cleaning and oils, by the way.

By the by, this fellow maintained that for Home Defense purposes, it's best if I convert to a shorter barrel for tactical purposes, rather than have that long thing stick out like that. Anyone know where I can get a decent shorter barrel on the internet, or should I just do the right thing and go to the next gun show?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Barrels aren't considered guns, legally so you can order different barrels from any number of catalogs.

The Cabelas catalog has a bunch listed. Try them.

(Nice shotgun BTW.) Here's a pic of mine.

Looks like my Remington Model 12, made in 1939, one of the finast pieces of machinery ever made, action smooth as silk, with a goose barrel.
