picked up a beater at the gun show v.870

[spanky]

$180 OTD

It's not perfect. Has some surface rust and some wood blems (and looks like someone had some ****ing duct tape on the stock) but it will do what I need it to do (kill tree rats and double as a spare HD gun.)

 

[Dredd]

Nice find.

 

[doeslammer4]

i love the two 870s that i have. is that one a mag or a super mag?

 

[SlidellArms]

woot! you grabbed one of Larrys special "tape" guns? lol ill probably get one tomorrow for the offspring, he saw a 12 ga. he was drooling over and it was a steal...cept for the tape residue lol

Spankster, you might know a guy or two who can take care of the metal blems.
Wipe the stock down with mineral spirits and the adhesive should go away.

 

[Pale Horse]

The mineral spirits might take the finish off of the stock too if it's clearcoated (ask how I know). There's some stuff for adhesive called "Goop Off" that's cheap, works well, and isn't too harsh.

This reminds me of the Mossberg 500 I got a deal on a few years back, some maniac had painted it up in red and green, striped like a barber pole.

 

[jjh]

I still think I got the best deal of the day.

Jeremy, Camo synthetic stocks are $65 at academy. You and I both know you're not gonna leave it like that.

it looks like someone had a bumper sticker on it. try goo-gone or rubbing alcohol

+1 on the Goo Gone. It will remove the glue, plus give the shotgun a pleasant orange smell- which as we all know has been known to improve reliability...

I have an idea to make it more versatile. It involves a saw and a drill.

 

[Gus McCrae]

Sweet deal!

step 1 :

Hold the phone- wouldn't that attachment make it an "assault shotgun"????

 

[spanky]

Potentially. If it ends up assaulting anyone I'll remove it.

 

[Richard in LA]

WD 40 and elbow grease will also remove that adhesive easily.

Spanky, who are you gonna let put the hacksaw to the barrel
