Best of luck with the new shotgun, the smile says it all.
Posted By: Gristle Re: New 410 - 01/16/22
I'd be willing to bet there isn't enough 410 shells in that end of Montana for him to shoot to knock the grin off of his face.

Excellent!
Posted By: wabigoon Re: New 410 - 01/16/22
Great!!
Posted By: Partsman Re: New 410 - 01/16/22
Great, hope he enjoys it, I have a mossberg 500 in 410 pump, really nice little shotgun.
24-inch vent rib ported barrel
• Quiet carry dual-action bars
• Fixed full choke

Durable and lightweight, this pump-action shotgun is the ideal choice for shooters wanting a reliable, field-ready .410-gauge. It features a fixed full choke, and a 24-inch, vent-rib, non-ported barrel with twin bead sights.

Posted By: Magnum_Bob Re: New 410 - 01/16/22
Made your boy happy big Jim but it looks like a commie plot of some kind to bankrupt your butt with the price of 410 shells. Make sure he picks up all his hulls. Mb

That’s just too cool! Congratulations to the young man.

Posted By: 5sdad Re: New 410 - 01/16/22
So gratifying to see that we have gotten this far without anyone piously intoning the BS about handicapping him with the .410 and "should have gotten a 20".

Jim;
Morning sir, thanks for the video!

Since I wasn't familiar with the brand, I looked them up and see that they're made in Turkey.

There's bunch or maybe just a few different manufacturers there so I don't know if the two I've had for awhile now are made at the same place as your son's is, but they've always gone bang for me.

Thanks again for the morning smile Jim.

All the very best to you and yours this week.

Dwayne

Henry does. I bought one for turkeys, had the Henry rail mounted and bought a Turkey choke tube, plus a Skeet and Modified. With a red dot, it shoots Brenneke slugs like a rifle, and throws nice patterns with shot and buckshot defense loads too. Nice checkered walnut, good bluing. Straight hammer-gun with no safety. They have a youth stock available. Not cheap at about $500, but heirloom quality.

The hammer/trigger pull issue has been corrected and they have a very nice trigger now. I keep a butt-cuff on mine with a mix of shot, slugs, buckshot, and “animal-behavior-modification” loads (plastic balls). Only load that doesn’t shoot well is the Hornady FTX load with a slug and a couple of buckshot. That one’s strictly for close-in.
