This old girl is going to smoke them clay targets. The choke measures on the tight side of full. This is the purchase that got lost in the mail out east, finally showed up. I was planning on doing a restoration on it but now that I got it cleaned up I don’t think so. Certainly adding a recoil pad.

I think a 20 will always feel different than a 12. Some of the older 20s were made on large frames but not anymore. Most mass production guns will not have any cast, some “sporting” guns might have a straight comb. That may be why you saw so much rib on the one. Have fun looking.

Sorghum is noted for introducing shatter cane isn’t it ?

I’ve got a few break action shotguns but they are all neutral, no dedicated left hand versions, so maybe I assumed too much. I did have a single barrel with a palm swell for a right hander that I just couldn’t get used to.

Don’t know about this one but the opening lever can be also left handed. Easier to pull with your thumb instead of push.

Calm down folks, really. I have a hard time thinking why anyone could give two episodes of sexual intercourse what is said on venues such as this. Me, I have a shotgun lost in the mail someplace out east. Now that is worth getting worked up about.

Yes, on that piece it just made it easier to enroll the whole thing. The duck hunters liked it.

I have known all the DNR enforcement folks in the lakes area for many years, they are pretty chill generally. I think during the summer they bring one or two in from other areas on the hot weekends to help out, probably not what they want to be doing. To be fair Okoboji gets some real aholes...

We have a property we put into the IHAP program for 3 years. The DNR was supposed to burn it but never did so we took it out. The place was 1/3 CRP 1/2 corn field and the rest pond and lake shore. Duck hunters liked it, so did deer hunters. Anyway the next door person, farm is all CRP, didn’t...

My condolences for your loss. Always hard.

Don’t have that one but I have others that are similar, they don’t agree with each other often. Choke designation is an odd thing. The definition is a certain %of pellets in a certain sized circle at so many yards. It can only be an accurately determined by shooting the shotgun. You can look up...

I keep everything in gun socks while in the safe.

Howa made the long guns for Smith, couldn’t remember, had to look it up.

My father was a Smith and Wesson dealer for many years. He sold a ton of their long guns, rifles and shotguns, made in Japan. The rifles were extremely well made. The shotguns were not as well received, they were heavy and the early ones had some issue I don’t remember right now. The Super...
