Silver Rings SASS # 27466 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I gave in and Monday bought a M75 at Cabela's. I had my eye on this one that has almost a black stock. The barrels and chambers look like new. The action is tight and no cracks in the stock. I plan on trying it out at a match tomorrow. Here are some pictures.

G W Wade Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Looks like you were lucky! Our local Cabelas has a bunch and most of them are so loose I wasn't interested.. Clerk did tell me they would probably deal on them if you were interested. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Rings SASS # 27466 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 I looked at probably 8 or more, all 12 ga and they were all tight. Some of the stocks were beat up. The clerk said they could not deal at all. Mine was $299, which seemed reasonable to me. I will find out tomorrow. SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hopefully some of the ones not on display will be better. Not really interested but always looking. They had 6 on the rack , 4 of them sloppy loose but all the stocks were beat. Keep up your posts after shooting it. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Rings SASS # 27466 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 At the match before we started I fired 4 rnds. The shotgun fired the shells fine but the gun would not open unless I broke it over my knee. I shot it for 2 stages in the hopes it would free up. No joy in Grinch ville. I will have to figure it out. SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Sounds a like my friends Stoeger 20ga sxs. His gun would fight him with any kind of shell, ended up honing and polishing the chambers. Good luck GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Rings SASS # 27466 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 So I fixed the timing so the firing pins retract sooner and now it opens fine. I also cut the barrels down to 18 1/4" and took about 3" off the stock. Overall length is about 33". I stripped and refinished the stock and forend. Haven't taken it out for a test drive yet. Here are some pictures. Silver Rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had a chance to try it out yet? Just saw a bunch of these Yugo shotguns at Cabela's up here in Alaska and some of em looked and felt pretty solid. Been looking for a double barrel.

Silver Rings SASS # 27466 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I had cataract surgery on my right eye a couple of weeks ago so I wasn't able to go to the match or the range to test it out. I am pretty sure it will work out good. It may need some more adjustments but I am pretty sure it will work out. So if you don't mind doing some work on it will work out. My Cabela's has Stoger or Rossie double barrel shotguns for $399 which would be a safer way to go. Silver Rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
