That's a beauty! I'm sure he'll like it. You're a heckuva a BIL!
I made a stupid mistake and passed on a mint 20 ga 11-87 for $600 last fall.

I have a few garden tractors, but I rather enjoy this one,
It will pull a pretty decent load too.

You got no idea the crap that guy puts up with being married to my sister
She was married to a real POS, went through a crappy divorce and somehow ended up with Saint Bill
Like I tell my gun buddies, he and I try to outdo each other, he’s given me a few and vice versa.
He’s such a sweetheart, he’s even given my best buddy for the last thirty five years a Browning A5 in 16ga (Mike already had two sweet 16’s) and a .222 just to try and swing him into liking his favorite cartridge
Like I said, Saint Bill
He has his flaws, but overall a Good Guy

shoot, Lord knows I have plenty of flaws too….
Don't we all....
Do you pull the whole front clip/radiator support as an assembly? Looks like a real back saving way to do it.

For a second there I thought that was a bad ass looking decent sized tractor. Then I saw the engine and put things into perspective! It's still cool as heck though!I have a few garden tractors, but I rather enjoy this one,

My Brother first gun was a 12 Ga 1100 that was stolen. He never was able to replace it. Later he bought a used 20 Ga 1100. It was only a 2-3/4" but i saw him drop a snow goose with it at some distance back in the good old fays of lead. Now it's his turkey gun.
At one point, I was looking for a 1100 for duck hunting. They didn't make them anymore but they had the 11-87 out. Can anyone tell me what's the difference?

Well, short story
1100 evolved into the 11-87 in guess what year….
1987
The big difference is the gas compensation system in the 11-87
I’ll try and find a YouTube video as pictures are worth thousands of words

Got my new saw today

Makes sense. Brother tried to use low brass dove shells and the spent shell would not eject.

Perhaps it’s just the photo, but that engraving looks awful. Is it just the pic ? Really stands out to me, kinda screams at me because i used to have a beautifully engraved one myself in 20 ga. Shot my first firearm deer w it. Smoothe
Bore and a rifled Brennneke slug. Did not care for the gun, it shot very well but jammed routinely. Hope the kid likes it, nice gesture !

Got my super XL Auto going yesterday. Fresh gas in the tank, and a splash down the hatch was all it took, ready to cut another day

When new, it was gold inlay, but this shotgun was used and built in 1966

Here’s an example of a pristine one
And he’s turning 54 so not a kid to me…
Maybe to guys Grizz and Mustangs age, but to me he is an oldie

Interesting. I’ve seen many of them including several DU models. Guess i’m not a fan of gold inlay, cause that pristine looks bad too. Learned something today and it’s still early. Thanks for posting up the minty example.Here’s an example of a pristine one
