MilSurp of the Month; July '13 - Shotguns!

[martin08]

MilSurp of the month for August will be Antiques. No special requirements (rifle, shot gun, hand gin) save the piece is original and the original gun/serial number/frame/receiver was manufactured on or before 1896.

MS

Did you mean 1898?

If that's the cut off; I thought it was 1896.

MS

Pre-1899; so 1898 or before is correct. Thanks.

Thanks! Did I win a case of 16 ga BP cartridges?

Seriously. Are there any BP cartridges that will fire out to 3,660 miles east of Beantown?



Congrats.
