    A5 20ga

    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...

    1330 fps

    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...

    Nasty little habits

    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!

    Rem TCi 105 questions

    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.

    Rising straight away shot

    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...

    Early 1950's Browning Light 12 Gauge Shotgun Potentially for Sale

    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.

    Dog Journal

    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...

    Pointer or flusher debate

    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...

    O/U Which Barrel?

    What makes you think that?
  15. birddude

    Ithaca

    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...

    AL 48

    Nice to carry, but tough to keep that barrel moving.

    Not sure about the safety. Would that be the first hammerless called the Crass? What gauge? I think the most common barrels were 28" mod and full. They were very good guns.

    20ga or 12ga for upland birds

    If you want fun and sport, by all means a 20 will be fine if you know what your doing. If you don't you're going to be chasing a lot of cripples. Pheasant hunting can be very frustrating. You will probably see a lot of birds getting up at the edge of 12 gauge rang. Sooner or latter your...

    20 gauge ammo for quail

    I agree somewhat. But I'll still take quantity over speed. I found a deal a few years ago on Rio 1 oz. Bought 2 cases. Been happy with them. For me an oz. is a must in my 28.
