39 & holdin'...right???

no matter what the number is, Warmest Regards & Best Wishes, Dave.

And I promise, no Wise N. Heimer remarks about getting the fire extinguishers ready BEFORE lighting the candles on the B'Day cake....Like Mrs. Foggy told me she had to do last time on MY b'day....

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks, guys. I'm 62, and expect my official Geezer card in the mail any day now.

Full disclosure, the OP and I shot together today, first the Geezer stuff and then some Sporting Clays. We had major fun.

See other thread for more stuff.....

Dave, I don't know you personally, but I do know that this one of the most fun and relaxed forums on THR, and I wanted to say thanks for the helping with the upkeep. You rock man, happy birthday.

[Dave McCracken]

Many thanks, folks.

All told, I shot about 125 rounds today and enjoyed every one.

Paul, I'm astounded. And grateful.

Thanks, and I'll see what I need/want/crave done.

All that shotgun wisdom in your head in only 62 years? WOW.

Happy birthday. SIR. <salute>

[Renwyn]

I guess I'm the newbie here, but happy birthday. Geezer. :neener:

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks.

These 62 years have been shotgun intensive.

[full metal]

Happy birthday to you, and God Bless.

[Ben Shepherd]

Hey Dave, start putting the list of the exact features you'd want on your dream 870. You have 3 years to figure it out. When you hit 65, we'll lobby remington to produce a limited run of "McCracken Edition" guns.

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks, guys.

It'll be a short list, Ben. Take a WM with 28" LC barrel and.....

Add sling studs.

And an optional Sorbo pad to increase LOP to 15.

Get the trigger under 4 lbs.

PS, add metal to the trigger to make it 1/4" wider and make it feel sublime.

And a tiny F/O bead up front, no mid bead.

Ah, yes, pretty wood.

That's about it.....

For the black BDU types, the same thing with the 21" turkey barrel, two shot extension and most of the above tweaks.Leave the stock as is for use over body armor and tight places.

[Hollywood Marine]

You're still a young'un Dave. Best wishes!

Doug

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks, Doug. See ya Friday....
