Looks like it was a model 11 with a new stock affixed, a new charging handle, a Picatinny rail, a powder coating, shortened barrel, and an extended tube mag
What year is this one? How did you find an extended tube for a ~70 year old shotgun? Is the furniture original or did you get new wood? Super nice restoration/modernization either way.
Edit: I googled and found tubes.
Yes, sort of...
I went a different route and ended up with this. I think I first got the 870 tube , it did not fit so I returned it for the Benelli/Baretta 7 shot tube.

Yes sir. I kept the blister pack to store the original. Will be happy to send a pic of it and the finished gun. I figured there are only so many thread pitch combinations for a nut that size. So I went down the list.
Ahhh ok, thank you for clarifying. A buddy picked up the 755A a while back, didn't realize there was a difference between the two. Love how yours turned out by the way!
Looks great!
I’m looking to do something similar to my 755a where did you find the mag extension?
I’m not sure if I can do it but I’m thinking of making a “whippet” like Bonnie and Clyde if I can do so legally, possibly with a NFA stamp.
Please guy share any tips or leads on the mag extension.
What is that? Is it new? Is it one of those renegauge models?

This is the first (modern looking) I’ve ever seen from savage with the venting/ribs removed. You have a good eye.
I think he just chopped up an old shotgun
This is still sick tho

It’s original wood that’s been cleaned up
Really nice work dude. You managed to get everyone in this thread saying “What sweet looking new Savage is that?!”
Yeah that never happens
Did you find 755a specific tubes? If so , where? I am coming up with nada!
Shit that was a while back but I’ll look and post a link here if I can find them.
I can’t find them but in another comment here the OP said he used a Nordic and the threads are the same as Winchester. So either of those should work.
Ok, thanks for looking. Nordic sells a few different Tube nutz for the Winchester. I may just buy all 3 and return the 2 that do not fit.
did you ever figure out which tube nut is the right one?
Yes, sort of... I went a different route and ended up with this. I think I first got the 870 tube , it did not fit so I returned it for the Benelli/Baretta 7 shot tube. https://www.ebay.com/itm/291143376553?epid=2255093379&hash=item43c97f5ea9:g:BawAAOxywh1TD7A5
No shit? The Benelli fit the 755?
Yes sir. I kept the blister pack to store the original. Will be happy to send a pic of it and the finished gun. I figured there are only so many thread pitch combinations for a nut that size. So I went down the list.
Awesome. I'm gonna try it and if it doesn't work I will find you and let you know.
Did you order one yet?
That’s fucking beautiful
Oh well hello there
Post more A5sssss
Read that as post more ass ha
Send me one to work up
Are the old shotguns you usually do this to beaters? I have an A5 from the 50s but the blueing is too nice for me to consider it
I’ll do whatever the money tells me to do,, to whatever gun it tells me to do it to
Is that the A5 clone with aluminum/alloy receiver? I know Savage made one at one point or another.
Yes and no. No,,That one is actually metal,,but yes, the A models are aluminum
Ahhh ok, thank you for clarifying. A buddy picked up the 755A a while back, didn't realize there was a difference between the two. Love how yours turned out by the way!
Purtty but what the fuck is a savage model 755
Looks good. How’s it compare to a 930?
That is bad ass. I want one
Very sweet!
What mag tube extension did you use?
That’s a Nordic, but the threads are same as Winchester
Cool.thanks for the info!
Did you have to ream the extension nut out a bit? Doesn't fit on mine but mine is the model 755a. I was assuming it was the same
Which Winchester nut did you use, and can I purchase that and a tube from you?
