Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted June 18, 2025 Posted June 18, 2025 By the time I got my stuff together, Sportsmans Warehouse was out of stock. They had the 30" version, but I couldn't see cutting off the barrel and losing the perfectly good choke tubes. Didn't want to do online order and pay shipping and pay an FFL transfer fee, so I waited patiently. Then, the most unlikely store in my area, Modern Warriors, (which deals in high end AR's and 1911's and such) had one, and only one, in stock. I went there and found it was still in the box, they never put it on display. now it's mine.
Rip Snorter Posted June 19, 2025 Posted June 19, 2025 Very well made, attractive gun, bought one when I planned to resume SASS shooting. That ain't going to happen. Mine, at least, out of the box, no way competition ready. Stiff to break and cock hammers - sent it back to CZ, treated the return wonderfully, quick turn around, but though improved, still not ready to rock for SASS.
watab kid Posted June 19, 2025 Posted June 19, 2025 very nice , congrats , i didnt have the compunctions you did - it was an old stevens ang the chokes were of no use anyway so i cut mine off

Yes, it is stiff to open, but the hammers cock with a swipe of the hand. I spect the opening will ease with extended shooting. 40 minutes ago, watab kid said: very nice , congrats , i didnt have the compunctions you did - it was an old stevens ang the chokes were of no use anyway so i cut mine off My first, and still my current BP shotgun is a Steven's 235 hammer gun. 30" full chokes that I cut to 24".

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 19, 2025 Posted June 19, 2025 I'd love to have a 30" F/F hammered double. (NO screw ins) It'd be a nice alternative to my hammerless Parker in the configuration.
