Does anyone know anything about this gun?
I bought it at an i&i whearhouse sale in the 90s sometime and found it in my boxes of stuff

I did a google search and could not find anything

Not seeing any photos.

edit: found the url in the page source code. These aren't true image links - they link to a dropbox page even though the URL ends in a file extension.

Not sure if this will work for others, but here we go:

What little I can recall of these- all second hand, so get out the salt- is that they're generally quite rare. They came out just as the semiauto wave was starting (circa '89-ish?) and they were quite expensive. Like $100-$200 more than a nice Bushmaster pump of the day. So both of those rather limited their appeal.

They had a couple of neat features, the principle one being that rear body block. That kept the rear of the body from 'spreading' when you tightened down the field-strip screws.

But apart from that and a generally pretty good-quality fit-and-finish, it was kind of just another bore-drop Nelson clone.

It's worth more to a collector than as a shooter.

Doc.

Thank you Doc! it does have a nice feel to it, and I really like the simple field stripping they incorporated. I'll get her up and running and see if I can find the original 12g bucket
