I have a 26" MOD plain barrel with a little wear on the magazine tube ( not much). I was being a smart arse last year and took it to the opening dove hunt. Not only was it more fun than any that I could recall, but I shot over fifty percent using 8.5 2 1/2 inch target loads. I had some outrageous offers from some well heeled shooters, back at the lodge. I'm not sure how much was serious or how much was the whiskey talking. No matter, my granddaughters get it.
I reluctantly left it home this week, because as my old guy dealer friend describes it, it is dam near new and the sun flowers are thick as a jungle this year, and I don't want any scratches on it.

Mr Jack, If you change your mind or want a nice OU 28 ga for your granddaughter, let me know, I need a good 26 , mod 42! There are easier guns to teach a kid on than a .410. I got good but in reality, the damn thing shot like a rifle! Boy when Dad got tired of paying the same money for high brass 3" 410 shells, he sprung for the very first year ,first Rem 1100 to hit town, I wish I knew how many dove, quail and woodducks I nailed with that gun! v best winpoor
