I am weak.

[Tamara]

I was at one of the local gun shops yesterday when an old shotgun caught my eye. It was a beat-up Remington Model 10 (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Remington_Model_10) with hardly any bluing left, and someone had shortened the barrel to 18.5".

The price tag was $179. I am constitutionally unable to walk past a functioning weapon for less than two bills, especially one designed by the man John Browning himself called "the greatest gun designer in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pedersen_%28arms_designer%29)". Plus, I don't own a shotgun.

I think I'm gonna go back today and make an offer on it. I found a box of Winchester #4 buck in the attic. That's a sign, right?

[Al T.]

Me too. :D

Interarms Mark X in .30-06 followed me home for $190.00 OTD last week. This one may get a receiver sight and a re-barrel to .35 Whelen so I can channel MattG's '03. :cool:

Doooowiiiiiiiit!

Kind of like the time I found a rusty but workable Baby Browning .25 for $170- a little cold blue (and steel wool, wire burshes, naval jelly, deglosser, elbow grease), and it was good to go.

I thought this was going to be about how girls can't squat 3 plates during their cross fit session... : )

You're not weak, you're "other strong".

You're my hero.

[LittleLebowski]

Since I'm right handed and permanently injured, I call my left my "other weak hand" :D

At least you have your mind right.

I've recently changed from having Squad One and Squad Two in classes. I now use Squad One and Squad Alpha. I call it neurolinguistic squadding.

If an attraction to blued steel and varnished walnut is a weakness then consider me a wimp.

I picked up an 870 Wingmaster a few years ago for about the same price, and for the same reasons. It ended up sitting in the back of the safe until my son's Winchester 1400 went down on him (broken safey) during dove season this year. The 870 filled the role nicely.

Lately I have been trying to find an old Remington 11-48 to play with. Lop the barrel to 20", add a mag tube extension, and go play some 3-gun. :cool:

I'm being as strong as I can.

I have a little savings system whereby I never spend singles or coins. I just went into my coffee can where I keep this stash of mad money and rubber-banded enough ones to buy the gauge.

I'll go back out there on Monday, and if it's still there, I'll buy it.

LOL, letting the "powers above" determine if you are fated to own the blaster.... If it's still there it was Meant To Be.


:p


I've "certainly" never done that! ;)

A club in my indoor bullseye winter league fields two teams, LittletonA and Littleton1. Supposedly it was because they couldn't agree on whether to use letters or numbers or whether the better team should be first or second. There was no argument as to which they thought was the better team.

Fixed it for you

[ToddG]

Fixed it for you

Squad Nancy was something special. I can't do that for every class.

The Ithaca M-37 is lasting proof of JMB and the Remington M-10, yet the older Remington is the more tempting of the two when the opportunity to shoot one occurs. Both of the light weight pump guns kick like a young mule but are a real pleasure to carry afield, swing easily with near perfect balance. I’ve seen an old Remington M-10 go through multiple Tactical Shotgun courses with nary a problem but Mossberg’s and some Winchester’s invariably failed.
Going home to count my money or more likely talk myself into buying an older used gun priced in the 2-C’s bracket has cost me frequently, but I continue to do so. Generally speaking the chase of the perfect “prize” is often as satisfying as the capture. I hope your “prize” is still there on Monday and anticipate reading your review.

Was that Nancy or Mancy? :)

This is why we can't have nice forums.

Yes... Roger... Steven... whoever!

It are Monday.... :D

[Tamara]

It are Monday.... :D
And I are beat to hell after running around in the rain shooting stuff all weekend, so my wallet gets a one-day grace period. ;)

...and after a two-year hiatus, I am once again a shotgun owner. (And, quelle coincedence! It's a Remington again!) :)
