My AhHa moment
I was at a large sporting goods store recently and passed the owner working on a new fangled camo synthetic stocked semi auto shotgun. I asked what he was doing and he (with the new owner right there) said they were trying to get the 3 shot plug out. I chatted for a few minutes all the while wondering why you would want to take the plug out.
I made my purchases and about 15 minutes later they were still at it. Once again I made conversation but this time referenced my preference for 100 year old Parkers simplicity of using the top lever, opening the gun and dropping in two shells. The I presume proud but confused new owner of the aforementioned slush o mattick said "and I suppose you shoot paper shells too". "As a matter of fact I do" was my reply and the look on his face was just priceless.
If it's not broke don't fix it. Parkers, paper shells and bird season....perfect.
