My First Gun

[Mr. T]

Looking at some of the posts here got me to wander back to my very first gun. It was free; I got it from an uncle who got it from a priest that he had rewired his rectory for. Well my uncle being ONLY a BROWNING guy gave it to me because I needed a gun for my first deer hunting season. It's killed more deer and ruffed grouse over the years than you could shake a stick at. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has any picts of their Ted Williams shotties!

What the hell is a shottie ?

Don't be a jerk.. He's obviously talking about shotguns.
My first was a single shot .410. I shot maybe two doves with it. Ever.

Thanks Broken. I have 5 shotguns and out of them all, I have to say that if I could only have one, that's the "One" I would stay with! And go figure it was free! It is the smoothest and fastest action pump that I own. This gun is very accurate with slugs out to 100 yards and follow up shots hunting birds is a breeze. I've been pretty happy with it. It's kind of a "safe queen" now, but I think I'll dust it off this fall and get some field time with it for sentimental purposes!

Enjoy the shotgun.

I don't have a Ted Williams shotgun, but I do have an old Ted Williams ultralight fishing rod that my father gave me. I try to take it out once a year for Crappie.

My first firearm was mossberg 500. Those actions sure get slick after a few thousand rounds! I picked up a Benelli Nova for my duck hunting, but don't shoot it near as well as that old Mossberg. When that Mossberg goes on a hunt with me, it just feels like it's a part of me.

I've only shot a Ted Williams a few times, but I did like it. It was a smooth shotgun.

I was not trying to be a jerk, I just never heard of a shotgun referred to as a shottie, SORRY OK !

MrT
I also have a Ted Williams shotgun. Does not see much field time anymore but still shoots great.

 

[Mr. T]

6x6pinz - I see your Ted Williams has the poly choke on it as well, but I couldn't help notice that your receiver kind of has a slight hump on it, where my gun seems to be more rounded; otherwise they look identical.

303tom - I don't think you were trying to be a jerk. I just know a lot of guys who refer to them as "shotties". Sorry for the confusion.
