New “old” hunter

[Sabbathu]

Hello all.

I recently got back into guns for the first time since I was a kid. My father passed away in 1982 when I was 12. He left me 5 shotguns and a Remington 308. Well, I dusted them off and cleaned them all up after almost 40 years in the attic.

Now, I’m ready to go hunting and I just ordered an 870 express. It’s on its way to my FFL out here in California and I’ll be taking it hunting in a few weeks. Looking forward to reading and contributing to this forum.

You'll find this a slow, quiet place but that goes along with a one-gun topic. Still, ask away and post whatever interests you.

Yeah, tell us more about the other five shotguns! Hint hint
Maybe some pics! In the general discussion forum for greater readership....best,

I can do that. Would I have to find an image hosting site to link pics here? I’ll try it out.

Man, I remember when the gunshops and hardware stores of small-town PA in the late 70's used to be loaded with those styles of dual-caliber guns. Never owned one, but that pic evokes an era gone-by.
