People could just look at and tell it was well used, but well taken care of. It was built in 1945 and I started using it in about 1967. I guess that would have made it about 27 years that I used it.

hahah good story. speaking of shotguns, do you think I should pick up a shotgun or AK first?

What do you want it for. Skeet (I love) trap, not so much. Target paper punching, AK. Fun combat matches, Shotgun. I had a Browning semi with pistol grip stock and Loved it. (sold it to the sheriff, and the bum won't sell it back!).

WTH won't let me post!

If you want to go the combat shotgun route, Wilson combat makes some SWEET lead slingers. OR, you could get yourself a "beater" and build it up yourself. just get a good serviceable pump (or auto now days, they are much more reliable than they used to be), but research recoil or gas systems to see what you like best. And get all your own parts for combat buildup. BUT be careful, sometimes you can buy one already built up cheaper than you could build your own. And don't be fooled by all the "bells and whistles" some folks claim you gotta have. remember the KISS principle and You will be OK. Just my 2cents and hope it helps.

There we go Morning dogs!

M/B Gremlins?

I checked out a CZ over/under, .308 over/12 gauge under, mean machine. WAY out of my price range though. would be perfect for me though...

Howdy M/B. got any good words on Pinky's question?

Somehting like that. Every time I tried to post it said it had already been posted and won't post it. Its working now.

Just remember, get it for what you WILL use it for, not what you THINK you want it for (unless all those Knife pictres WERE ones you owned after all)!! haha

I get that sometimes, Usually when I hit the wrong button while trying to post.
