Thanks guys. Lots of wisdom shared. 20 gauge is not an option. He is big enough to do well with my A5 12 gauge. I offered a 20 gauge but his coach wants them to use 12's. I did a search and found stock options for the 1100/11-87 and 870. Also the CZ trap gun is attractive. I do have a Berretta...

Used guns are hard to find around here. I see mostly O/U's at the range but he doesn't want one.

Don't worry, Kamala just said she wants Red Flag laws nationally. They are going to take away your guns so you aren't going to need ammo. They already know who we are and where we are.

I already shared how my grandson is using my New version Browning A5 for trap. He shot a 20 with it Sunday and it's only his 6th time ever shooting trap. My son has decided to shoot too and while he used to shoot with an 11-87 he now is using my Francki 612. I am happy to see them do well and am...

So is a P-38 old? I am over 75 and don't consider anything made since WW2 very old. Now my 2001 Z-28 is eligible for collector plates. I consider it new. Old er would be my 68 Camaro if I still had it. Old would be my dad's 28 model A Ford that he bought for $28 used off a car lot when I was a kid.

Not much to add, I have SA and DA pistols, I shoot mostly SA out of habit. I shoot more Semi-auto pistols now days and most are hammerless. It just takes practice whichever way you shoot.

That's a heavy barrel.

Great job. It probably solves the problem of recoil pads falling apart or getting sticky as well.

You haven't seen a carbon ring with your bore scope? I am in the minority then. Mystery to me. I just know what works for me.

That is a theory that many believe. I don't, my target and competition guns shoot best clean. And POI and accuracy do not improve with shooting. If bullet lube and not cleaning makes a improvement my experiments don't show it. As far as I know, all bench rest competitors clean even during...

The biggest thing is to prevent a carbon ring, also to be consistent. Accuracy guys clean. Plinkers don't. Flyers are the result of a few things, one being a carbon ring. Some claim wax buildup helps. I say it just is another variable and is inconsistent. Clean is consistent.

I used to only keep guns that I shot. Now that I am older I don't shoot so much. But I have regretted selling many guns and it is harder in this state now. I have a couple now.

I sold my reloading press 25 years ago. Now with my grandson shooting trap and the price of shells I am thinking of getting restarted. But some say it isn't cost effective. Is it worth it?

There's hope. LOL. Good point, thanks for that perspective. I am thankful that one out of five of my grandkids appreciates my guns and wants them. He loves hunting and shooting.

I stopped using my debit card after it was hacked twice. The first time I was away from home and had no other source of funds. Now I use a couple credit cards and pay them off each month.
