Nice! Looks like a remington shell, is it? A 2 3/4 ? I have green cartridges like that, pheasant load, no 5. Is it the same thing on the picture?

It will only handle 2 3/4" shells. That was a 2 3/4" Remington high brass #6 shot. I made a shadow box with that picture. Put the shell hull and some breast feathers from that gobbler in it for him.

That is awesome!!!! I have a Remington Model 31, from my reading it's the predecessor of the 870. It was a Police gun, and I love it, well except for the STEEL BUTT PLATE!!!
