Thanks for link and compliment . To me my shotgun looks great because it says Colt on it , the Franchi would not interest me.
i love having Colt long guns other than AR’s ...... love COLTS period .
I really don’t think medallion on your stock is factory, but I could be totally wrong .
i put a cap on my Coltsman .308 , so it’s all good .
The grain pattern and shades on your 12 ‘s stock & forend are really cool.
Colt offered another semi auto shotgun not French. I believe American manufactured post 1980 .
It is in Fiestads blue book , I would REALLY love to own .
i saw one on gunbroke in the last two years . It was about a grand , if there was ANY way I could’ve came up with the cash it would’ve been mine . I doubt I will EVER see one again . Oh well , be happy for what we have !
