I must admit I have much nicer looking rifles than shotguns and wasn't going to post in this thread, but this pair have served me well for many, many years. They are starting to look a little worn on the outside but their bores still remain bright and shiny. The top one is a Fox double with mod & full barrels. The bottom is a Winchester 12 "Duck" gun which has a 3" chamber. They both deserve a bit of a facelift and when I retire from my main job they may get it. Until then, they just continue to do what they did fifty years ago, work well.

got to love the model 12's. They have sure past the test of time.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Here is a classic. A Burgess 12 gauge wrist pump, damascus barrel, solid rib, made in the 1890's and still taking birds over 100 years later...

here is one I just had the stocks refinished on... don't see many of these but they are not collectors guns unless super high quality or high grade, Around 1800 thought to have been built by the Philadelphia Arms Company... they were basically the predecessor to the Ansley H Fox Gun Company.

Picked up this cute little 16 gauge sureshot (made by winchester or cooey) - it's been made into a takedown backpacker and it's a beauty. I'm more of a rifle kinda guy but the guy offered me a trade for 8 hard drives I had laying on the shelf and couldn't refuse.
