Finally, one of us who admits to owning 150. Who will raise that figure and admit to 200 or 250? I remember 40 or 45 years ago, thinking I owned too many Winchester pump guns and that I needed to play catchup with double guns. I took immediate action and haven't entertained such thoughts again.

When I was at my FFL about a week or so ago they had a Winchester Model 12 in 16 gauge , I didnt look at the serial number but it had the early slender style stock on it . The previous owner apparently had screw in choke tubes installed and it had one that extended about 2" past the muzzle . The gun itself looked nice but once you got to the muzzle it looked kind of out of place haha .

I don't buy a gun for an investment thing or an old antique car I buy them because I wont it if I can afford it...if not I may sell something cheap to be able to get it...its all about want for me....charlie

I buy because i like the gun and want to shoot it. Focusing only on 16 and 20 ga sxs's. Fox and Parker. Will be selling my 12 ga VHE that Brad Bachelder restored. Stay tuned
