I've been on numerous tire burning trips - what else you suppose to burn out in the middle of a treeless desert? after a few dove hunts i took my browning 1 of 500 American Mallard (Midas class Belgium) squirrel hunting and the high base six cracked the grip of exhibition grade burl walnut. After Browning repaired it it became a safe queen until I sold it. Last edited by eyeball; 03/04/13. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A gun snob is a self serving, self aggrandizing, smarter than thou David Petzal types, unlike John Wooters, jack OConner, and John Jobson. No, those are just average, everyday slobs and snobs. Unfortunately some of them own guns. We don't have to look far for those. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

It usually means you're using it, not just lookin' at it. It's kind of liberating, as you know there will be more, soon. Drive it like ya stole it. It's even more fun when you see a snob have a conniption fit when they get some kind of a little ding in some of their gear. "The Bigger the Government, the Smaller the Citizen" - Dennis Prager LINK

Went and looked up model 42's 410 for sale, lowest was 1,200 up to 15,000. and the lowest was pending sale. I'll keep an eye out for you Pat. No telling. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

It was over 180 yrs old and hunted in rain and snow and all it was was a grocery shopping tool. Worth just under $7k at the time, I don't think anyone has ever accused me of sheltering safe queens. Yup, I think your panties are pretty twisted. Save an elk, shoot a cow.
