A New Challenge

I wouldnt touch a gun that has been roasted with a 10 foot pole. But thats just me.

Pump shotguns are so cheap... why risk it?

Experience.

Even if this thing is not able to be fired and I "de-mil" it, I'll know how to completely rebuild this particular shotgun.

Interesting.

I envy your free time.

If something's important to you, you make the time. I don't have that much of it.

Considering the forend was destroyed and looking atthe shrinkage of the buttstock I would say this gun got way too hot to ever be considered safe to shoot.

 

[Wabatuckian]

I'm thinking the same thing... but restoring it could be fun, anyhow.

Restore it and sell it in the INGO classifieds

There was a series of articles a while back in SWAT magazine (I believe) regarding restoring firearms after a fire.

If I remember correct, one of the editors had a fire at his house and lost several in his collection. They were eventually restored and he has since used them in a couple of training courses.

It can be done, but it has to be done right. That's usually the expensive part.

Yeah, unless you want to drop some serious coin I think you're boned if you want a shooter. It'd make a nice wall hanger and you could pick up some good gunsmithing skills along the way.
