Old guns.

[Stan Hillis]

Charlie, I thought I wanted to buy a .410 like my first, a few years ago, and went on the search. When I found one and saw what the asking price was.... I CHANGED MY MIND!!

The Tenite stocked doubles were lighter than the walnut stocked models, due to the buttstock being hollow. Never shot a 12 ga., but have been told that dentists love them.......... they will supposedly loosen your fillings very quickly.

Reading through this thread reminds me again that a gun is so much more than wood and metal.

Indeed they are, something most people don’t understand.

I guess this forum and all of us wouldn't exist if we didn't believe we were more than that Garry : )

If only they could talk and re tell the places they have been and the birds or in the case of a classic rifle the big game they have taken. Some would have traveled the world some would have remained in the area of the caretaker and some would have been destined to be safe queens.

Several years ago I did a PP article on the fictitious travels of a CHE 20. It did get shipped back to Parker from either China or the West Indies I don't remember exactly for a new stock and returned to that far off destination. The fact that it was shipped and returned without miss hap is amazing in itself.

Yup, a mint condition Tenite .410 double is more than a $1000 gun. I sold a nice walnut stocked high condition Stevens side by side .410 off my gun show table five years ago for $950. My handy man recently gave me a Springfield .410 with very little original finish and I am happy as can be to have it.
