Yup. Stuff like this always comes along when I can least afford it. Very nice shotgun.

Thing needs a speed feed stock, a side saddle, a vented barrel shroud, and a pistol grip forend, as well drilled and tapped for a scope mount for a big BSA red dot.

I can do all that for the purchaser at an additional cost. I would also recommend screw in choke tubes and a breacher muzzle brake.

**SPEEDGUNNER** · May 22, 2017, 10:20

I would like to get things started but have a couple of questions first:

1. Is the red buttpad standard issue?

2. What is going on with the stock and forend, has the wood been stripped or sanded?

Neither are deal breakers, I would just like to know.

I am in at $2300.

**Drtrumpet** · May 22, 2017, 10:59

Could I bolt 10x scope to this?

1. Standard issue FN buttpad.

2. Not sure. I am not the original owner. I did wipe the fore end down with alcohol to get most of the grime off of it. Haven't touched the stock.

Sigh, tagged.

If the deuce sells, I'll drop in a bid.

Volkov25 · May 25, 2017, 11:56

Good sir, in lieu of cash would you be willing to accept first-borns as payment?

I mean its not the going rate you should be worried about, you gotta factor in the work you can get out of a full lifespan. I mean we're talking about grade A Malaysian first-borns. None of those shoddy Vietnamese ones where you're only gonna get 20 years of hard factory work, tops.

**adamweinerog** · May 31, 2017, 11:17

Gorgeous, but does Tapco make furniture for it? Magpul is pricey! I kid I kid! That is beautiful!

Volkov25 · June 01, 2017, 02:39

Sorry, auction ended at 8:23. You bid too late. You should have bid earlier instead of looking for a loop hole.

Speedgunner is the winner.

Yeah, I was in Belize during the auction, up until today.
Good thing is they have no extradition treaty with the US.

**SPEEDGUNNER** · June 02, 2017, 07:44

Glad to know that I contributed in some small way to the enjoyment of your vacation.
