Lofty,
Yes,a Model 12 would have been nice as there were several in the armory,probably WW 1 hold overs. But they were pretty much held on to and strictly accounted for.
The Stevens Model 77 was basically a cast off in a "corrosion corner" and served its purpose very well.
When I rotated back stateside,it went back into that armory,in much better condition then when I "obtained"it.

I wish I could get a Mossberg Shockwave in this state as that would be a pretty good piece as I like the Mossberg pumps and have 2.

Funny thing,the Mossberg pistols,which are really sawed off pumps are Class 3 items and may be obtained in this state with,off course the tax stamp procedure but not the Shockwave which is not classified as Class 3. Go figure.
