I was running out of ideas of how to make him feel good about his gun. I wasn't sure what to say next so I asked him if there was something special about it and why it had all the gold birds on the receiver. I had my ear phones on and somebody was shooting so it was hard to hear but I think John said it was because it was gift for graduating from Grade 6. Congrats on finishing grammar school John!

Default Goodwill shopping stores and flea market Brownings

I shop the Goodwill stores- also the second hand high end men's clothing stores for the "Yuppie" stuff at 60% off- for the few funerals and bar mitzvahs I get to attend. Have never bought a new rifle or shotgun or truck in my life either- About ten years ago I read the book "The Millionaire next Door" which reinforced my buying habits greatly- words of wisdom--

Although my late Grandfather always drove Packards, and my Dad drove Buicks- they drove them for years before they traded- well kept up too- Granddad always said "Don't let your choice of a car become a vehicle for your vanity- it's just a ride is all it is, Son"!! He was right too!

Did notice the "Team Suponski" did managed to wear different headgear--

Dear Rich, Dave, Pete, Scott and Dean,

Being the quiet, shy and reserved person that I am, I thought long and hard about a reply defending both my honor and the honor of the craftsmen who forged my browning shooting stick from wood, steel and gold crayon. However, I find myself at a loss...

I will note, however, that I am happy I didn't bring one of my highly collectible Remington 870s along, as all of you would have been clamoring to shoot that, as you did with my Browning.

Carry on - and please let me know if any of you gentlemen have any difficulty in posting to the PGCA forum, OK?



John

Nope - I traded my small bore Parker collection for two of the prettiest 870s you've ever seen, and returned the other 870s I had out on loan. Hang on - I'll attach a picture for you (I might put the attached picture up on the opening page of this site, but I haven't decided yet?)

Anyway - I know I got the better part of that deal....

John

Just a question John:

"I thought long and hard about a reply defending both my honor "

Did I miss something ("my honor ") you have that?

Sorry just could not resist........
