I picked up a single shot Iver Johnson 28 gauge at an estate sale yesterday. It looks to be in decent shape what can you guys tell me about it?

I'm not sure what kind of info you are looking for. I love my .28 I've shot a lot of pheasants with it, it's great on running rabbits. I'd buy another one if I got a good deal on it in a heart beat. You can even buy non-toxic shells for it and hunt ducks or tss for turkeys, I haven't seen any slugs or buckshot loads for it. Anyone can shoot a boring old 12 or 20 ga. lol It'll kill about anything they will.

Don’t know about IJ but the 28 g is a vastly underrated caliber, it’s only problem is that shells are often difficult to find unlike 12 or 20s

I currently have a Steven’s and a model 12 both in 28g and wouldn’t part with either outside of a life or death situation
