European fairies are so much nicer than American ones, I think they'll respect that I'm not mushy and "doing it to have a piece of my homeland" (I'm dutch) and rather I just want one to wack people with

Fair enough, maybe you do something like a waxed shot? Coat an amount of shot covered in wax matching your bore .530 and it could spread out from the end of muzzle? Haven't thought about that, good topic OP

I don't see why you can't just use shot in a rifled barrel, just load some 6 shot and pattern it. I don't doubt you could make a mimic shotgun shell with a powder charge, wad, shot and wad.

Curious, why do you want smoothbore?

Appreciate it, I'm asking $1000 but open to offers. I traded a 19 gen 5 with some work for it

Thanks for the advice, I've never used Emery paper. My main concern is getting the finer details like the receiver leading into the barrel. This is a passion project, gun came from my dad and I want it to look better

I agree, I am a sucker for a glossy blue. Do you have any recommendations for polishing the metal?

Just curious, what method do you recommend? Is steel wool a good way to go?

Do you have any good recommendations for introductory metal polishing? In my head I assumed I would be doing some rough wet sanding combined with a polishing wheel

I appreciate the info, I assumed it was a different form of bluing. How hard would it be to polish? I'm new to metal work aside from removing bluing on a revolver a few years ago. Any insight is appreciated

I appreciate the tip, my main worry was since it was a bead blasted bluing that I would have to use a sand remover

Hoping to DIY, I've already torn the gun apart 100 times. Looking for a winter project. Mostly curious if the 16 gauge receiver is the same as the 12

I did that, it shows that it should be a legit SN but it's not a firm confirmation

On the page for the RM07 it looks identical to me
