Thank you all! If this gun works for me, it will be a fairly painless entry into the game of high-volume shooting (for basically the price of an pump-gun). If I find that I'm enjoying and participating in it more-frequently, I can always move-up into a better unit later and peddle this one. This will allow for me to hang with the guys, burn a few shells, and see what I think about it all.
I'll look closely at the firing pins, measure the chokes, snap the trigger on caps several time to get a feel for it (I assume it's mechanical?), and examine the whole gun much more critically (take it all down if allowed). If there is any looseness or the top lever is neutral or to the left I'll pass. Tight chokes don't worry me all that much. Most of the shots at the local ranges are pretty long anyway.
