A little show and tell.

I recently acquired this from a friend, it sat in a police evidence locker for around 20 years, it was in absolute horrid condition when he acquired it, and never received any proper attention. I managed to talk him into parting with it because I wanted to do a project. I present to you the finished product, a New England Arms Pardner 12ga magnum, 18" heavy barrel, single shot, with an exposed hammer.

Note: I've currently got a cheap shell holder and limbsaver on the stock as well, because even with the heavy barrel this thing can push you back a step or two, until my leather guy is free in two weeks to knock out a few projects I have for him, which includes a leather shell holder and recoil pad for this shotgun.

This one isn't super bad, unless you fire a slug, but with the limbsaver I put on it, the amount of felt recoil is about 75% less.
