etothepii,

My father used a Rem. 1148 in 16 ga. til his health failed him. He took many a turkey with that ole gun. He also used it for wild hog hunting with 00 buck shot, can't count the hogs he took with that gun.

I now have that shotgun and it hasn't been fired since my father passed away. Don't know if you know it, but that Win. Mod. 12 is a collectors' item now, so not only would I recommend hanging on to it for that reason, but most of all who gave it to you.

I have 4 or 5 different turkey guns now, all in 12 ga. so I would go with a new barrel for the nef as others recommended.
