Very nice, interesting the shells eject to the left. I like the bayo set up. :)

Remington model 10(A), bottom feed and bottom eject only about 3500 were made for the war effort that`s why this ones a tribute, real ones are made of unatanium and if you do find one, the price is scary high.

Here's a cool article on the WWI combat shotgun. Mustard and chlorine gas are all good, but the shotgun is "not fair" according to the Huns.

The shotgun is king for close quarters in my book.  I keep a Mossberg 500 with #4 buckshot tucked away at home.  #4 will stop a man without going through the walls and down the road.

Good to see that politicians were over exaggerating the deadliness of weapons over a 100 years ago too. Sounds like this maybe the Bidens source in 9mm and 5.56.

 Those 10's were the most complicated machined pumps of all time! Hell of a mechanism. God forbid the follower flapper in there breaks. The replacment ones have been gone for like 80 years! Be gentle on the ol girl.....

I`ve only ever fired a few light target loads to see how it functions, works as it should, and you`re right about spares, scarce as unicorn poo if any at all.

I have other shot guns, this one is for show and tell.
