If you fire it, only use 2 1/2" shells. Unless someone had the chambers lengthened, that gun has 2 5/8" chambers. So, you won't want to fire 2 3/4" loads.

Sort of bittersweet for me to watch. I found one very similar at a gun show a decade or so back. I think the guy wanted $125 for it. Same deal it was still full length. I almost bought it with plans to cut it down like you did. I talked my self out of it. Still regret it. However If I had taken it home and it blew up I would have regretted that more I guess. As far as everyone complaining about people cutting the old guns down, it will continue until the price of the full length originals goes up or the price of replicas comes down. Currently if you want exposed hammers it is much cheaper to buy an old one and cut it down.

Man, you should have bought that shotgun. No one wants these shotguns with a barrel that will reach across the road........... ;)

I have Grandpa's 12 double barrel that is exactly like yours except his still has the 30 inch barrel. His is labeled as being made by the American Gun Company which is the same as the Crescent.

This is a very nice shotgun you have there. I believe it was made after 1930 when H&D Folsom Arms Co. purchased Crescent Firearms in 1929.

I have an old Lefever, the checkering is similar. I would have thought a Greener would be appropriate. I know the Duke referenced one in a couple movies. Don't you just love the 8 ga. in Appaloosa ? I wonder what shotgun was really carried at the OK corral.

You found an original double barrel from the 1800s and molested it, cuttin barrels down and other stuff..... Do you know how hard it is to find 30 to 32 inch double barrels rhese days? Ive been lookin for a well kept, functional double barrel for years. Kinda hurts man, great lookin old girl but you could of definitely just bought a new made 1878 from, cimarron or pietta and did a patina job and other things to make it look the part but made of modern metals....

@@tylertapp131 I am definitely a guy who doesn’t care about originality as I go for what I want. I went for this shotgun because it looks like the one Val used, as the new coach guns they make today don’t look right. These shotguns were plentiful on Gun Broker when I bought mine.

@@HollywoodWesternWardrobe original length barrel shotguns from the 40s and back are harder and harder to find, for the money you probably spent you could of got a new production one and they do make some that look Identical to original that you could of put a patina on and made it look more original and it has all new parts, so you dont end up destroying an original. But since you dont care, I guess it dont matter, dont be surprised though if you even actually shoot it, that it has the possibility to grenade on you from the metals not bein up to par.
