[ satire] Did you hear that they have redesignated the military sidearm formally know as the "Colt 1911A1" government model pistol... & accordingly, it's classic original chambering: 45 ACP (A.utomatic C.olt P.istol C.artridge?) Yep. It's the first weapon in the history of the US DOD weapons arsenal to receive a human'like military service medal of sorts, after (both sidearm and cartridge) has served faithfully for over 100+ years in both military war-time & peace, law enforcement and competitive pistol shooting at all conceivable forms. Not to mention as well as relied upon & loved by millions of Americans for personal defense... & last but not least, having a "only after you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers" world wide affinity to "those who know." Yep- The pistol is now redesignated/ called the: "19'AARP" and the cartridge, is now the: " .45 ASSDEPO. " ASSDEPO being the official acronym that stands for: Automatic Soc. Sec. Dissability Entitlment Pay Out [after gran'pa caught your punk self in his shed at 0245 HRS. tryna steal his lawn mower; him accordingly following his 'drafted into 'Nam training protocol: B.R.A.S.S,911. For the uniformed, "BRASS" is the old school USMC shooting acronym: B.reath (while)R.elease(-ing) A.im S.queeze S.hoot. Let's have a round for such a faithful, long serving veteran of these United States, now formally & correctly honored! Cheers!

Mighty kind. Thank you for the info. Happy Thanksgiving. T

Thank you for sharing your story & info.

Wow. Thanks so much for the response and thorough details. I really appreciate that.

thank you all. Maveric it is,

Thanks 10-Ring. You're secretly a Mossberg salesman aren't you? Lol. That's a great report. Thanks.

Thank you Sleep P.

Thank you for your responses. I know the rules and regs of Canada. I've gone to visit her a few times there and stay with her at the camp. And hunt. I have the correct RCMP form; I've taken a long gun each time. No trouble at the border, they hardly even slowed me down. But to my original question- can somebody actually reccomend a/few basic shotguns?

My wife is working & staying in a very remote place in very rural Canada right now. I want to get her a cheap but reliable 20 gauge to leave in her vehicle/have at her Basecamp. Pump or semi. What's the best low price budget 20 gauge that is reliable? One of these Turkish imports? I know, buy once cry once... I'm just looking for something that can be used and abused until she's out of that bear & wolf infested base camp. Thanks T

Thanks. Burn barrels but seriously accurate. Thanks!

So my first deer rifle was a .243 Win. For a factory rifle, it was incredibly accurate. Alas, I eventually shot the throat out. But this barrel is a hummer. What's the next minimally bigger 6mm cartridge I could ream it out to, to get in into some good throat? Thanks T

Oh wow, thanks. I had no idea about maker spaces.

Thanks! I'll send you a message. T

My lease was up on my lathe and I didn't renew. I need a lathe with a taper attachment and DRO this go'round. If some gracious person would let me use their lathe for a few minutes I can finish up this little kids rifle for a mom I know. I agreed to do it for her as a freebie/pay it forward. 30 min max lathe job. Even a little table top mini lathe would probably work. Thanks either way. -T
