Do U find early non-SxS's interesting?

Brian the Model 11 is a wonder, it was just not a incremental improvement but a radical departure from gun design of the day.

I have always loved the sound of a '97. I have my Dad's uncles gun, and I remember when the owner of Poly Choke offered to put one on it, my dad reluctantly said OK. Poly Choke was in an old brick mill building on the Farmington River, 2 miles away (Now houses our favorite restaurant )
I have a first year Model 1912 in 16ga, and my first shotgun, a Super Grade model 12 20ga.
The shop sold me the 1912 stupid cheap. He said " You know, you can't get ammo for these anymore"

I have always had an appreciation for Remingtons, but have not owned a single one. I think it's that 'Ford-Chevy' thing, or maybe because Winchester, Colt and Parker were all well known Connecticut companies.
