Which reminds me... I just bought a 16ga M-12 that looks like it's right out of the box. It dates at 1959, and the only marks on it are on the bottom of the stock near the heal which I know from experience are from going in and out of a gunsafe. That's all, safe marks.

Why? Because the damn thing is choked .037.

Of what possible use is a M-12 16ga choked extra full?

Answer: None. That's why it sat UNUSED for 50 years.

Yes, I intend to open up and use it.

I also think the scattergun gods would approve.
