    Grandfathers shotguns

    as others have said... the model 12 is a simple fix for a good gunsmith... although a good gunsmith is often not too easy to find... I don't know all that much in particular about baker shotguns ... but ...while a set of barrels with the telltale swirl pattern is undoubtedly damascus...not all...

    a helpful hint... you are doing the right thing in that you are actually taking the time to disassemble your gun and clean it thoroughly... the 1100 is a cool shooter as long as it's kept clean...I am doing this from memory so give me a little latitude...if the shell catch that's staked into the...
