Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So this followed us home from Land Run this year, it's actually the wifes. She bought it from Johnny Meadows. its an SKB 300E English field grade. just beautiful! Has the full cowboy treatment of course. all that engraving makes me nervous. any tips or tricks to disassembly for cleaning? anything else I need to know about this shotgun? odd ball Brownell tips I need to order right now? if I screw this shotgun up, I'm going to just move out to the Arizona desert.

Ramblin' Rose SASS #2811 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 What a beauty. Hard to hurt a gun like that. Shoot it and enjoy. Clean it like any other gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Drover Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 No - NO! DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE ANY OTHER GUN! It has to be treated VERY SPECIAL when cleaning it. Send it to me and I will "clean" it for you!!! KCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Douglas Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That sure is purdy. I can't wait until I got enough set aside in my cowboy fund for an skb. Fantastic guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Ken Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Great looking Shotgun but are you sure thats a 300e? I opened this thread hoping to see something different I never heard of before being used in SASS. But honestly, I believe you have a 200e. unless the 300 designates all the scroll work?

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Brownells has a 18 tip European-thin-blade magna tip set. Well worth it for this gun. Handy for many others. http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/general-gunsmith-tools/screwdrivers-sets/magna-tip-bit-sets/magna-tip-thin-bit-set-prod44342.aspx Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Creek Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have a 200E that looks very much like yours but there is no engraving on the barrels. I believe it is called the SKB Royal. As Chicago Ken said perhaps the 300E designation is for the extra engraving I know your wife will enjoy shooting that beautiful gun. Congratulations on a great find.

Captain Bill Burt Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That looks like a 280E. Is it a straight stock, or pistol grip? 280E's have straight stocks. The Royals are marked "Royal" on the side. The 300s aren't doubles, they're semiautos. I sold a 280E to Johnny a while back. I wonder if that's it.

Wyatt Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 http://www.gunauction.com/buy/3047314 My moneys on Johnny Meadows, an SKB expert and FFL, knowing what model he is transferring ...............any takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Meadows,SASS#28485L Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It is a model 300 made for the English market. It has no model designation on the barrels or action. They didn't make a lot of them, but their statement describing the 300 was "similar to a model 200 with slightly different engraving and more engraving than a 200. I have seen three of them in 15 years. I still have one. Johnny Meadows The imported American SKB designated as a model 300 is a semi auto.

Goatneck Clem Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have an SKB 300 that I shoot. I saw your shotgun last weekend. The 300 I have I bought it several months back and it was unfired in the original box. Its marked on the barrel Model 300 same as a 200. Mine has a polished receiver it looks just like a 200 with the exception it has more engraving. Its a nice shotgun. Good luck with yours Johnny does good work.
