My first shotgun was a 20ga bolt with poly choke.
The sleeve was split when I got it, Dad tightened it up as tight as
it could get and shot it. Just got a glimpse of it going out of sight.
A piece of EMT in the garage seemed right, so he cut a chunk and
drove it on. Killed a bunch of squirrels with that POS. Found a Poly-Choke sleeve at a gun show and fixed it later. Hasnt left the closet in years.
It's not worth the space in the safe.
A little bolt 22. Has the pivoting forearm. Sling swivels through the stock to side mount the sling. 141K, I think.
It was Paps summer/winter deer rifle. Has killed more deer than most
centerfires. Only feeds if you push up on the mag as you work the bolt.
It lives in the safe. One of my more valuable rifles!
Had a New Haven 12ga pump with the twisty choke.
It worked reliably only
had it awhile and traded it. One gun of 4 I've ever left go of.
No remorse.
Everyone brags up the reliability of those pumps. From what I have
seen, i was astonished when the military adopted one.
Have seen more folks have issue with them than 870s or Winchesters.
Maybe it is just who had them.
