30" and full choke. She'd be a good bird hunting gun, or a nice challenge with skeet. It looks to be in really nice condition. It looks like it's been oiled or waxed like it should be.



Did you mean 1/2" which would be a little loose, but more or less normal? At 2" I'm surprised that it operates. This video might interest you, and a few others here.

This gun sat unused for about 20 years (it may have been used a few times early on), over the next 5-10 years it was used minimally. When we had an issue with the slide not locking it was put away, that was also about the time I and my brothers were getting married and we weren't going to the range. I'm divorced now, brother now lives on 20 acres where we can shoot, I'm looking to get this back in action.

I'll look at the action again this evening, I may have not looked at it clearly as I wasn't sure what I was looking for. It also may be related to the issue we have with the slide wanting to fly back upon firing.

Nice piece MrMoparCHP. Perfect serial # and build date. You won't live long enough to ware it out. 2 inches before the bolt moves SUGGESTS THAT YOU DIDN'T RACK IT QUITE RIGHT WHEN YOU ASSEMBELED IT. TWIST THE UNLOCKING PIN AND RACK IT AGAIN First up and then down and the twist the magazine locking pin and push it thru' to complete lock up before you close the breach. NO NEED TO BRAKE IT IN HALF, JUST RE-DO THOSE 2 STEPS I'M SUGGESTING AND SEE IF THE CURES YOU 2"S OF SLOP. IF NOT GET IT TO A GUN SMITH NOW BECAUSE SOMETHING IZ WAY WRONG,! Jer

Something is way wrong already as you have to slam the slide forward to get it to lock.

THAT FORWARD MOTION IS NORMAL TO GET IT TO PROPERLY LOCK UP ALAN. PLEASE TRY WHAT I'VE SUGGESTED TO CURE THAT 2"S OF SLOP., Jer

If you don't slam the slide forward it will fly back the full amount (right out of your hand) when you fire it, nothing normal about that, when I say full I mean to the point of ejecting the round.
