Before you order one on GB, call the seller and make sure they have it in stock. Some of the sellers will put them on the site without actually having them in stock. I won a new gun a while back. Tried to contact the seller with no luck. No way I'm sending money without talking to them. Come to...

I have tested the cheap shells. They are all pretty much the same with the Winchesters slightly better (in the gun I used). Back when I quail hunted with a 12 gauge, the cheap light loads were all I used. I never noticed any difference. As I evolved, I found that the smaller the gauge the more...

My young wire loves my wife. On her lap constantly. Now she's sneaking licks from the wine glasses. Sleeps late every day and yesterday rolled her eyes at me!

Exactly, when they came out, I thought here we go with the carbon into the shotguns and bottom eject!! How cool. I was thinking if this goes, I'm getting a 20 when they come out. Then they just disappeared. Didn't know why till now.

Don't try this at home folks!! Believe it or not I have bent a few shotguns barrels by whacking them over a rimless tire. Bought a beautiful 37 Ithaca 20 full choke from a kid in a Walmart parking lot at 10:00 at night. Next morning I couldn't wait to shoulder it and stroke my wonderful gun...

Did your dog wash his mouth out latter?

Not really interested but, had the opportunity to trade for one a while back. I was impressed at the weight and feel. Came up good but looked to have aftermarket wood so I passed.

I have two notebooks, starting in 86. I leaf through them once in a while. I know that I hunted to much, some years over 100 days, counting quail, Phez, squirrels, doves, rabbits, and turkeys. Then somehow managed to shoot a lot of clay and fish in the summer. No wonder that 1st wife didn't last...

Welcome, full choke, 4's or 5's, heavier 12 gauge.

I've always been a pointing dog guy. I would scoff at the flushers when the topic would come up. There's no way they could cover enough ground to find the wild quail coveys. Flash forward a decade. Now it's mostly flare nares and planted Chuckers, with a couple trips west. My young GWP has...

You need to trade it for a bass boat. Don't get a real nice one thou or you'll really be gucci!!!

Welcome and nice guns!

Oh hell no!!

What makes you think that?

I'm not an expert but think that the Lewis was the 2nd model. And I'm betting it's not a 3'' chamber. Probably a early duck gun, full and full, maybe mod and full. It would probably handle heavy loads but I wouldn't shoot a lot through it. I'd talk to an expert first. Somebody that knows more...
