    here we have my M50 20ga pigeon grade thierry duguet plate 4, 3 bbl set with gold inlays. (the plate 4 is the most uncommon of all plates.) the engraved bbls are 26" skeet/28"mod/28"full with gold wash filler. all three are round post ribs. the receiver is properly marked PIGEON. the carrier and bolt are jeweled as well as the recoil op rod. the wood is correct factory winchester aa select pigeon grade with a 14 1/4 lop over a red winchester retro pad. a period buttplate has also been fitted to the stock for a 13 3/4" lop. in order for the pad to be fitted, the hollow cavity inside the stock had to be filled and blocked for the pad screw to catch wood. the grip is a full horn and cut thin for small hands. the gun was at one time a pachmyar 28ga conversion gun, but didnt function well. the original owner had it converted back to 20ga. this is why youll note a pachmyar 20ga chamber with the unique dual chamber gas rings. the previous owner shared the fact that the original owner changed from pad to plate for seasonal use to fit his thick jacket up north. the original red rubber pad rotted and the retro pad was installed in the late 80's when galazan really made red replacement pads, not their current orange-red ones. about the same time the gun pad was replaced, thierry duguet was contracted to do a plate 4 on the gun. thierry was an up and coming engraver who found favor with winchester as a sub contract engraver for the the high grade super-x series guns for usra. thierry was eager to do this plate for the owner. it is well executed with gold outlines. though the gun is used, the gun has never been fired since being upgraded 3 decades ago. this is a one of a kind model 50. make it yours. 5100.00 shipped ffl to ffl. as is. lower 48 only. no int sales.

    for those that want to do some comparison shopping, there is a plate 3 pigeon grade 20ga on one of those big gun sale websites that sells internationally, going for 5950.00....with one bbl.
    and...it has an aftermarket pad on it.
    and youll pay the shipping.

    mine is a plate 4....with 3 BBLS ENGRAVED.
    mine has a red Winchester pad that goes with the factory buttplate.
    mine has GOLD.
    all for 5100 shipped?
    and this gun hasn't sold yet?
    wow. come and get it.
    this is an investment gun. buy it, store it...get old, break it out, and sell it. retire to florida.
