I think I may have lost my beloved Beretta A390. The boy was having issues with the Mossback 500 Bantam 20 ga. in the rain for ducks last weekend. Firing pin wasn't hitting the primer and when it did, the thing wouldn't rack. Admittedly, we were hunting in the pouring rain in muddy chopped corn. But still...

So I took him to the Club to have him try my 390 12 ga. This boy just turned 14. He's all arms and legs, no meat. 12s were rocking him a bit much last winter. Apparently no longer. He ran 22 out 25 at skeet. By the judge of his smile, I think it's gone for good.

Damn.

I liked that gun.

A lot.
