Anyone familiar with one of these 12 gauge bolt action 2 tube magazine shotguns,I've put a deposit down on one whilst i organize a RFD transfer. I really like the 2 shot tube fed magazine system rather than a box type mag it also comes with H & R vari choke system looks like a Mossberg C'lect choke system. From research there was 3 models all based on the same action with slight wood variations these are the 348,349 deluxe gamester and the 351. Anyone with experience of shooting and owning one your input would be appreciated ,cheers, Mark.

Interesting thing - never heard of one before now. Would love to see a film of one in action.

I'll do a video when i get it. I'm going to strip and re oil or varnish the wood and re blue everything so by the time i'm finished i should of wiped away 60 or so years of use all going well.

I seem to like the classic stuff i've also got a Browning Double Auto from the 50's and WW Greener GP MK2.

I look forward to that too, please also document your restoration as for many of us there is a great deal of interest in the subject. A staff member of Holts recently said to me that it was a good thing that people collected the run of the mill, working shotguns and not just the high value stuff, as without these collections much history would be lost. My own guns are not super high value but the history is what floats my boat. Also when out in the field or range many others can enjoy sharing that history

Very true when i go shooting with my old stuff they always start conversations as many people have'nt seen older guns of varying designs and are used to seeing O/U or Semi Autos, etc. Will do with a full report on the refurbishment.
