You First Shotgun

[-boatman-]

Stevens 16 ga double. I think it is a mod 530a. My dad bought it new in the fifties I think. He was a big rabbit hunter back then. I don't think this gun has a SN. He gave it to me around 1968. It is still a great shotgun. I still have it and will have it until I turn it over to one of my sons.

Remington 870 with a 28" Barrel, It was ny big christmas gift when I was 16. It hangs on my wall in a gun rack. I use it regularly.

[MacGyver]

H&R 12 gauge. Great single shot gun. Kicks like a mule.

It's amazing how stores that used to sell shotguns, ammo and supplies don't sell them anymore.

Sears, Ace, Western Auto, the local hardware store.........

I guess it's just a page of history in America.

Single shot 410 shotgun, don't remember name.

First Auto, a year or so after the 410, was a Remington Model 11, with a Browning Bar Pat style receiver. From what I remember, they were built for John Browning before he launched Browning. It was my grandfathers, my fathers, than mine to be passed on one day. Need to do a history on it.

It is a 20 guage, it looks like this one, not as good of shape. Mine also had a twist choke on the end of the barrel.

Number 1.Mossberg 20 gauge 3 round bolt action with Poly Choke. Still have it. Took a few rabbits and pheasants with it.

Number 2. 20 gauge 870 Wingmaster vented rib, 3 inch mid 70s. It has taken dove, quail, duck, pheasant and chukar. Still have it. There isn't anything you can't do with it.

Number 3. A5 Belgium Browning. I couldn't stand to take out in the field. It's in the safe and looking like new.

[McAllyn]

First is a Winchester break action 20g. Have been told it's a Model 37 Red Dot, but have no idea.

Second is a Browning Special Sporting Clays 12g with a full set of Briley sub-gauge tubes.

In 1996 my folks got me a Remington 870 LW Magnum 20ga. Beautiful, smooth, sweet shooting gun. It's still in my safe and will remain in my family for eternity. It's killed most of the usual small game hunted in East TN, powdered thousands of clays, and given me hours of enjoyment along side my loved ones. It's probably why I have a must buy obsession with 870s.

A Savage Model 94C. Single shot 12 gauge. Was my dad's, passed on to me. That makes it priceless.

[Almond27]

Mine was a Mossberg 500A 24barrel camo pattern. Bought it when I was 18 sold it when I was tight on cash. I still have the first 12g hull I ever fired though S&B 00buck. Wish I had it back I never even cleaned it while I had it ran like a champ with any cheap shell.

[Bocephus]

Single shot 410 Stevens.

[MarkInNashville]

It was actually my dad's shotgun that he gave me. A model 97 Winchester, 12 gauge, modified to shoot skeet: opened up to I.C. (marked as modified choke), recoil pad to make it a little longer, riffled barrel, trigger work... probabily about 3 - 4 lbs. but I never checked it). My cousin got it when I joined the Navy... I REALLY need to find him and get it back!
