    Shotgun question

    I was checking the local pawn shops the other day and came across something I haven't identified.
    The gun is a Browning A5 clone with a 24 barel with a Cutts mounted. It is stamped "Revelations".
    I know that was a store brand for Western Auto but I've only found pumps contracted by Mossburg. Anyone know anything about these?
    I was thinking this would be a good candidate for a meeting with the hack saw.

    Its probably a Savage, or it could be Remington Model 11, but I bet its a Savage. I don't recall the Model. Remington and Savage both made shotguns similar to the A5 under license agreement.

    FWIW, Revelation was Western Auto's house brand

    Indeed...maybe you need to make one of these as well...

    Yeah, Twaits is definitely to blame for this.
    I've been collecting the Cutts and other stuff needed but couldn't bring myself to cut my Savage 720's 28" full barrel. I've been searching for an already hacked barrel. Barrels to fit a 720 or Remmie Model 11 are harder to find and this gun is less than the price of a decent one.

    OK, twaits, you cheated. You need to make that window sill wider so the gun will fit on it.

    twaits again to thank/blame because now I have to build a "Chicago Street Sweeper". I already have the Cutts (which are becoming expensive and harder to find) and using a Stevens 770 pump for the project. Eric can you throw us another pic of the "Chicago Street Sweeper"?
