Great Vintage Rig! 1951 Marlin Model 90 12ga W/ Salt Creek Vintage Waterfowl 2.5" 1-1/8oz Bismuth #5 

Awesome combo and amazing patterns as always from SaltCreek Ammunition.

Claybuster CB1138-12 wad. That wad is like magic lol always gives good patterns.

Love the old guns and still holding a great pattern. Thanks for sharing matt

Break action always did best. I have Bikal MP-18M-M Full choke. Massive velocity standard shells.

We need you to do a duck hunting video

I'll take that any day! If it works 70 years ago it should work today.

This is the the shotgun I grew up using I love it!!!

You think that Marlin is ugly ? Many would say it's beautiful. Are you going to have it restored? Why do a frame-up restoration on the thing? You have just demonstrated that an " antique " O/U shotgun, launching an " antique " load, at " antique " chamber pressures, is still very relevant in this day of stamped sheet-metal, plastic, and paint schemes on the plastic.... 1-1/8 of Bismuth #5, at ~1400 fps, out of a 2-1/2" hull, with no more than 6500 PSI chamber pressure ? Hat's off and raise a glass to the crew at Salt Creek. Wow, just Wow ! Your Model 90 delivered the payload, on target, and the pattern was as impressive as was the ammo, and that Model 90 could use a tune-up, so, why NOT restore it ? Machined metal, wood, and no pain-in-the-ass engraving to clean, after some time in the field. Your Model 90 is working CLASS !
