>>57410626Well, by the time I receive the spring this thread will be dead.
I got this shotgun a few years ago, it was made in St Etienne in ~1890 and I paid 300€ for it.
It's a good shooter, i've use it quite a lot for skeet.
That spring lasted for about 130 years, whenever I get the new one and file it to fit, it will get back to spitting lead.
It's a category D gun (pre 1900), meaning that you don't neet a permit to buy, so its value have more than doubled since i got it. Pre-1900's shotguns chambered in smokeless 12/70 are not very commun.
Overall a great element of any frog's collection
