Older 11-87 taking on new life

[pabossie255]

I always clean my gun real good but while taking the rear stock off I ripped the gun apart totally oiled down everything good. I see many saying there 11-87 jammed or something broke I got this gun off a older friend he had killed many turkeys, geese, ducks and other game with it and I have had it for a year now killed a nice gobbler a fall hen many geese and ducks with it all with not a hick up. This 11-87 is a NWTF 25 th Anniversary edition I believe in keeping my gun more than clean. I felt I would give it some love before the season comes in but it's also late geese season now so might get some shooting in soon so I put the Remington shurshot stock on it she looks and feels great with this stock set.

That's a sharp looking machine. I do not remember the 25th anniversary edition. I have a 11-87 in old mossy oak green leaf which I purchased in 1995. That little gun shoots quite impressive.

Dr Juice you are right they are vary impressive guns mine has a 21" pipe on it. When I first saw it I was thinking that gun won't reach out there cause it's so short bo is that wrong and love how it handles walking in the woods being shorter I would not want it any other way now.

Thanks I'm going to buy a few boxes of shells tomorrow return the Williams fire sights I bought at Gander Mountain that when I got home and opened it they were dinged up used and had a screw busted off in the threads going to pick up the Tru Glo model like it but of course they want me to pay $20 for but they look better built we shall see.

Looks good...

Yeah a different look from its stock look but it's has a much better feel to it. This gun may be a little older but I would not get rid of it for the newest gun as it can shoot. Here is what she used to look like.

My older friend I got the gun from just stopped by I showed him it his jaw dropped he held it and said wow I like that a lot.

That's great!  Looks awesome.  I didn't put a thumbhole type on my old youth 20 because I wanted to use it for crows and didn't think the thumbhole would work well for wing shooting.  Maybe I'm wrong!

[pabossie255]

I'm going to use it for hunting geese and ducks like this it feels real nice I can get on target fast with it. I'm putting a. Tru Glo Gobble dot on it just bought one on here can't wait and I had a gift card from Gander Mountian for some piece of junk they sold me so with that I picked up two boxes of Long Beards 3" #5 shot.
