[landon74]

1994 - A Mossberg Model 9200 12ga. semi-auto shotgun.

 

[12.7x99mm]

lets see it was 1986... a mossberg shotgun. Still have it and its been loaded ever since.

I took it out to the range a few weeks back just to let it know I still care about it and the last round wouldnt cycle.

Not bad for being full loaded for 17 years hanging on my coat rack

 

[SquirrelNuts]

August 2001. Marlin 882SS .22WMR rifle.
