i started this thread because i like to here good gun stories,let me share one with you.
mossberg model 183df 3inch .410
my dad bought me a gun identical to this gun when i was 10 years old, he would carry me with him squirrel and quail hunting, what wonderful memories, dad been gone for 5 years now ,sure miss him. i am 76 now so this story goes way back.
when squirrel season would open i would be in woods after school, we lived in country had small farm and could hunt on any of our neighbors places,killed lots of squirrel ,rabbits, and quail with that old gun.when i was about 16 i had a opportunity to trade my mossberg for a stevens double barrel, as i got older i regretted that i ever traded .
well last year i ran across a identical gun on gun brokers it was in real good condition, i had been looking for one for years,it was going to be hard for someone to out bid me,i stayed by the computer everyday until i purchased it 165.00. i get those wonderful memories every time i pick it up, like dad moving around to other side of our favorite hickory tree when squirrels were cutting in so the they would move around to my side so i could get a shot.well those days are gone but i think i will have them hide it in my casket so when i get to heaven dad and i can go hunting.
i purchased some browning tss and tried it in my gun, it has the full chock screwed on it shoots a real good pattern, hope to take a turkey with it this spring.
P.S- i would like to here some of your stories
