Help me out guys, I am having an old timers moment. I was talking to The Boy on the drive to school this AM about the story of JMB and what became the A5 and other than the Winchester Suicide Special (as brought up on these pages of late) with its patent beating lack of a cocking handle could not remember the other close-clones. Remington 11 right? and wasn't there a Savage the US government bought for training in WWII for air gunners? Anyone else?
Got pictures?
When I was a kid there were a couple of square backs floating around but I did not pay attention to them to know what they were. I really liked the one an older fellow had that had a long barrel and a Cutts compensator on it with the side gills and removable "spout" Won a turkey with that gun for the old fellow. The other was about a 20 inch barrel with a squarish front sight base that seemed to flow into the barrel shape and sported a bead on top. That one shot with that one of a Foster slug was enough! Some one later told me he must have had the friction rings installed incorrectly for that load, but all I knew was it hurt to shoot when compared to the other or a Mossberg 500 with C-lect choke.
Any how thanks ahead of time.
