    I have a 40+ year old Win 1200 riot gun. Wonderful piece of equipment. It started misfeeding a few years ago, I ended up finding a NIB 1300 trigger group in a shotgun surplus forum. A few minutes dropping the original and inserting the new group. Works flawlessly. Woo Hoo!

    Just recently bought a Cimmeron repro 1887. Well made shotgun that uses modern ammo (originals are black powder only). First saw an original decades ago and always wanted one.
