    Fun with my new Stevens 67E shotgun

    I was in my garage, cleaning an old Stevens 67E pump, 18.75" bbl, 12 gauge shotgun that I picked up. I had finally got around to breaking it down for a good cleaning and oiling because the old lube had turned to varnish. As I was at my workbench, my dog Len was watching me work. He loves keeping me company in the shop.

    The gun was reassembled and working real slick with fresh lube. I was holding it at port arms, admiring how nice it looked. All of a sudden, Len burst to his feet and belted out a loud 'bark-bark-bark!' I looked in the direction that Len was facing and there was someone who had been looking in through the decorative windows along the top of my garage door. It just so happened that I was standing there with the shotgun in hand and a large angry barking dog. The stranger quickly disappeared. This happened in less than a second. I walked over to look out the window but the stranger had run off.

    Didn't even have time to rack the slide. I'm still laffin'.

    Stevens are outstanding shotguns. This guy is a model 620, cylinder barrel with a Vang Comp sight on the front and an M2 on the rear. FAR better imo than a new 870 "tactical" or a loosey-goosey Mossberg. C&R to boot made it an easy purchase...




    It's also a take-down with a cool case...

    Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

      What is fascinating is that these were used by our military in the Viet Nam era. Mine must be one of the last of the Made in USA Stevens pumps from the 80's. I'm thinking I should hunt down period correct lumber and a T style recoil pad.
