Bought this gun 5 or 6 years ago in black and had it immediately hydro dipped in ATACs-FG. Wanted to use it for turkey hunting. Took some practice shots with some cheap ammo to see how it shot and it wouldn’t auto load the second shot. Turned out it was probably just the ammo because I never had any problems with turkey loads loading. Anyways POI was not lined up with POA. Had it drilled and tapped by Sumtoy Customs and he put one of his FF3 mounts on top and put in one of his turkey chokes. When he gave it back he said he noticed while it was in his gun vice that the barrel was bent just a hair and that’s why I wasn’t shooting straight. Well I had already had it dipped by then, should’ve shot it first. Got it sighted in and took my son with me turkey hunting opening weekend and 4 gobblers came in and he went to shoot and click. Couldn’t get one reloaded without spooking them so I shot one. Took the gun home, cleaned it and went back the next morning and killed one with it. Haven’t used it since, it just turned me off from being a pain after being so excited getting a new gun. All that to say is the gun doesn’t like light loads, being dirty, and needs some sort of sight. I don’t really care for sights on my turkey guns, would rather it shoot straight and use the beads. Doesn’t come with the FF3. I have all the chokes it came with plus the Sumtoy turkey choke. Would be a great gun for anyone who loves sights on their turkey gun. A couple of scuff spots in the hydrodip in the pics. Need more pics or have questions just ask. No trades.

If you want to keep it take it to Curtis Wilbanks AKA the Gun Doc, he is a shotgun specialist and can straighten the barrel to POA/POI and not mess up your dip job. He will let you pattern the gun at his place and check POA/POI. Just a thought. You can google him he is located in Toccoa.

That might be something I look into. Thanks for that, hadn’t really considered that honestly.
