I got this from a friend as part of a discussion we were having. He really does need the barrel if anyone has one.
"The one I found under my workbench is a Remington but it is not an 1100 (which is one of my favorite shotguns for Quail and Dove...I used a 20ga 1100LT for some time and loved it).
The one I found today is a Remington Sportsman 48 20ga, funny story of when I bought it and why it was under my workbench.
I bought it in 2001 from an old man at Canton 1st Monday for $50...I only remember that because the same day I also bought a homemade skillet (made from a 14" pipe end cap with a rebar handle welded to it), the shotgun, and a catahoulah cur hog hunting dog.
Boy I thought I was hot sh$$...I bought an entire hunting package from that old man on that day. That old man was a SUCKER!
Then I got home and realized the skillet was toxic, the dog had a bad eye, and the shotgun had a bent barrel. The barrel actually looked like someone had swung it like a baseball bat into an object about the size of a stop sign pole approximately 8" from the muzzle. That was the weirdest bend I have ever seen in a barrel...almost cartoon-ish.
Well I realized that old man thought...That Kid was a SUCKER!!!
Today after I found the shotgun, I found the skillet I bought that day and sort of giggled...then I talked to my wife this evening and she told me our dog (the one I bought the sameday) has gotten her toe infected and I have to bring her to the vet on Monday to have the toe removed.
The deal I made with the old man that day is still costing me...10 years later.
By the way you know anyone with a Sportsman 48 20ga barrel for sale or trade? I can throw in a slightly toxic skillet and dog that runs in circles to the left..."
