Boito O/U 12GA. Project

This is birthday present to myself. I picked it up at Frontiersman Sports for the low Kmart price of just $90. Boito was made in Brazil for sale at Kmart back in the 70s and 80s. Known more for it's poor fit and finish than anything else, this one definitely has its problems. I was told that the gun, although rough looking, was tested and worked. This turned out to be false - the firing pin for the upper barrel was broken.

The stock was stripped of its finish cracked loose and very poor fitting.

The stock was loose and fit so poorly that the barrel break leaver hit the top of the stock and cracked on both sides from movement when opening and closing the barrel.

The stock was splayed out on both sides, most likely from having no finish on it for so long.

Crack in the fore stock

Missing grip cap

Kmart quality fit on the fore grip

Very little surface rust on the barrel
