This was my dads first "turkey gun" in the late 70's. We have talked about doing various things with it over the years, he was even going to put a lamp shade and bulb in it one time to put in one of our camps. I was at his house last night and decided I would like to restore it since he actually hunted with it for quite a few years until he had money to get something better. I have shot it several times over years so I know it functions although I can tell it may need a couple new parts.About 10 years ago I took it to a buddies house who was having a clay shoot and brought it out just for a laugh. Ended up shooting it quite a few times
Not sure on the year of it until I get the old camo tape off of it but it is a marlin goose gun. A "mentor" of my dads talked him into getting it because one it was cheap and also because he used a long barreled shotgun himself. I will probably try to re blue and refinish stock as well as replace anything that needs replaced to make it look as close to original as possible. If anyone has any stories about these guns or has ever used one as turkey gun I would love to hear them
