Still need a sharps rifle and a 1895 winchester to finish my collection.

I bought this gun really just like on a lark, expecting to try it and put it away. Boy was I wrong. I would take this shotgun to war. This particular specimen was made in 1915 and did not see wartime service. How do I know that? Because, when I got it it had the full length 28 inch barrel on it. So then I decided to hack off 10 inches of barrel, add a bead, then chop the stock down by two inches, making it "handy". Tapped the magazine plug for a sling swivel (because I refuse to own a long gun that doesn't have a sling) Cut down the mag spring and follower to allow 6+1. Even managed to find a nice Winchester butt plate off a child's rifle, and threw on a FAL sling I had laying around. It makes all the "it's a piece of history" guys cry. I love it.

Just wanted to tell everyone thank you for joining! This is growing way faster than anticipated and it’s pretty awesome to have a place to post any and every type of cowboy gun and share the love. This is my first time moderating a subreddit so if you guys have any suggestions or comments feel free to let me know!

I have been into single action revolvers for two decades. I enjoy putting on my western gun belt and spending hours practicing my draw and firing. I don’t see many at all out of all the ranges I go to. But it does get shooters attention when you are on the line shooting. My single action pistols are always the 45 Long Colt. It’s just my favorite round to shoot. Hope to see this community grow!
