Re: project shotgun question?
all you need is a keen eye and a dollar bill. Go check out the shotgun in question and make sure the stocks fit tight, hammer cocks and fires properly and then close the action on the dollar bill and make sure it holds the bill snug. It should not slip out easily if at all.
