I have an older 20 ga red label that was the first shotgun I bought with my money. The bottom of the receiver has gone white. I would like to know how many shells I've put through it over the years.
I bought myself a 28ga when I got back from Iraq. It was a dream to carry chasing after quail but I was not a good enough shot with it.. After two seasons of knocking feathers off birds I traded it in on a rifle and school book money.
I have had a 12 gauge wood side for about 20 years. My one "nice" gun. My oldest drools over it every time I open the safe and has put his name on it when I'm ready to pass them on.
