SIL gave me his Dad's 1950s vintage Rem 870 Trap gun. Said he had no use for it or space in his safes. So it got a place in the rack in my vault. Story is that it came out of the R&G Club store at Rammstein AFB, in Germany, new, in the 50s Nice wood and a nice condition for an old 12ga Mod trap gun. They have gotten fairly scarce today. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g2VJt41K/IMG-0619.jpg)

That's pretty. I cannot imagine giving away one of my dad's guns. I would have made room for that in my safe even if something else had to sit outside the safe.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have been shooting my 1975 TB weekly since it was new. Replaced a few parts along the way as they can and will wear out or break. Actually, the only original parts are the bolt, barrel and wood.
