I'm awful partial to Dad's old Stevens 311. It's off getting the cracked stock fixed right now actually and getting a NOS Redhead recoil pad to replace the much rotted Upland that he originally installed. And then #2 on the list would probably be my 1st year Remington Autoloading Shotgun.
Dad and I are doing a project on his old gun while I'm home for my birthday if I can get it back in time. He replaced the tenite buttstock in the early 60's but left the funky woodgrained plastic forend. We, well more he with me playing spectator, are going to make a walnut one for it. I could have it done by some gunsmith but having Dad do the work makes it special ya know. We figured it's time for an upgrade after 40+ years.
