In trying to correct my foolishness of younger years I have been looking for replacements for firearms long gone before I realized how important my rule number one is.
Today at a gun show I just happened on to one of my quests. The second shotgun that I called my own from the time I was in my early teens. A Stevens 311 16 guage. This one is a 311a, pre s/n, and in very good+ condition. The wood is near perfect, and the metal only has very slight blue wear at the muzzle, and a couple very small scratches, or more like nicks a couple inches back from the muzzle.
Not really sure if it was a good deal, OK deal, or I got hosed. He wanted $500, but I didn't have cash so there would be a 3% "plastic" fee. I offered the five plastic, and all which he not only agreed to, but actuall knocked another ten off for an OTD price of $490.
As I posted a while back, I found a Winchester 97 that I was wanting because I first started hunting with my Dad's old 97.
Now my next scattergun quest is to replace my first "all my own" shotgun. Another Stevens. This one, a model 59 tube magazine 410 bolt gun.
