So I just received this Iver Johnson Champion 12 guage Shotgun from a family member and I am trying to find parts for it. The big problem is that this particular shotgun is between 80 to 100 years old. I am looking for the fore stock the butt stock and a complete barrel. I plan to correct the issues and bring it back to life again.

Thank you I have been going nuts on this build. I have tried brownells and numarich. Gunpartscorp has some of the items I need and I am on the list for when it might come in stock. A lot of locations mention to just try to find on at a show since it is such an older one. |

your right I have been looking for all the parts and its been interesting. I called a buddy up and talked to him and he was tickled about it. when I gave him the numbers I have he did some research and found out that it was built in the 30's and has been around the block a bit.

A Barrel may be a bridge too far unless you check someplace like Gunbroker regularly.

So, all you have is a receiver with no barrel, forearm, or butt stock?  That is for sure going around the mountain the long way. I guess the family member that gave it to you must have sentimental meanings. Good luck with the project. Look on some of the gun trader boards for a complete parts gun, and hit the pawn shops. They were sold under other trade names as well.  So I just received this Iver Johnson Champion 12 guage Shotgun from a family member and I am trying to find parts for it.
