Nice shotguns!
I am restoring my great grand dads 1957 Win 97. It met with an unfortunate accident a number of years back. I will be hunting with it in the next couple of years I hope.
I learned how to hunt/shoot using an old Model 17. I have a 4 digit S/N gun now, kind of beat up but I like it!
Is the top one a model 31?
Lets find a better word for the vulgar "porn" when describing things we like like fine guns!
Words like "Classic" or "Fine lines" have been good.
Please suggest some others. Thanks
How about "old guns where the wood and metal fit together".... kinda long, huh?
A little shotgun soft porn. What else would you call it? Maybe very expensive shotgun soft porn? Fine shotgun soft porn?

My old 870 mag. has been my favorite shotgun since day I bought it in the mid 70's. Had numerous s x s & o/u's.. Sold them but this one has be my stand by..
I like those old 870's. Does your model 31 have a 30 inch barrel? Looks even longer in the photo.
Yes, it is a 30. Pretty nice wood also..
Got to handle another's Parker VHE 20ga last week. All the case hardening was gone, maybe 50% blueing on barrels. The stock was showing its' age and a little low at the comb, like many of them are. But the balance was there like few others. I would really like to own one like it.

Me too. Been through a lot of shotguns but always go back to my 870's.
