The Old Shotgun Everyone Ignores — And Why That’s a Mistake

Описание: There’s an old 12-gauge shotgun sitting somewhere right now — behind a barn door, in a farmhouse, in a basement or attic — and most people ignore it.

In this video, I take a hard look at one of those forgotten guns: a $100 Savage 1921 12-gauge pump shotgun that I picked up at auction. This isn’t a nostalgia piece or a history lesson. It’s a practical question:

Is the old shotgun everyone ignores still worth trusting?

We talk about:
• Why old pump shotguns are everywhere
• What condition actually matters (and what doesn’t)
• How simple actions keep these guns viable for decades
• The versatility of 12-gauge ammunition
• Hunting use from small game to large game
• Defensive realities
• Why “used” doesn’t mean “useless”

I’ve also put rounds through this shotgun, so this isn’t theoretical — it’s about function, reliability, and realistic expectations.

This video isn’t about buying the newest gear or chasing trends. It’s about understanding why some tools never really go out of style, and why cheap, boring firearms often get overlooked.

Quick question for you:
Would you trust an old pump shotgun like this — or is there a price or age where you personally draw the line?
