Finally Picked up a Proper R5 Richardson Guerrilla 12 ga Gun for Goose season

[indy1919a4]

Needing a new shotgun for goose season, I picked up a Richardson Industries Guerrilla Gun, Manufactured 1946 by WW II Navel War hero Ensign/Major Richardson. Richardson fought in the Philippines with the Local fighters against the Japanese. The gun was a "copy" of the slam fire Palluntod shot gun the Guerrillas manufactured. Linked are a couple of articles that explain the guns story..

The R5 is alot more heavy duty then it looks or needs to be and at least twice as heavy as an original Palluntod gun. The front sight is pretty small but it means well. Over all its a lot of value for the $7 it originally sold for.

Interesting looking. So, it is basically a professionally made zip-gun.
