KyJ, Ive got a similar friend I hunt with and shoot sporting with. Hes a great friend, but his wife is a pain in the ass.....really, just nasty. The good news,she hates me as much as I hate her. She dotes on my bud, constantly waiting on him , etc.......its quite repulsive, nauseating really. She dotes on him, but the minute he spends a nickel on himself, then all hell breaks loose. Im not going to any more shoots with him if shes going to be there, period. Its just NOT worth all the BS and lip biting.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Buzz, your problem is not your buddy's wife its your buddy. He's blaming you for all the time he spends away from her clinging little self. She resents you for being his friend.JMHO...Geo

You might be right, Geo. Nevertheless, even her voice makes me cringe....like fingernails on a chalkboard. Id be suicidal if I was stuck in a Hell with her and no way out, like my buddy is.

Here's a Fox (Utica) 12 with 2 3/4" chambers and when it snaps shut the whole thing rings in your hands. Feels real solid and if I run out of shells I think I could beat big things to death with it. I looked all over for a Fox 12 with modern type dimensions and this one is 1 5/8 x 2 1/2" and shoots well for me. When I received it I noticed that the muzzles weren't quite square and it must have been damaged and less than expertly repaired, so I got on the seller and he sent me back $75, so I have $675 in it. It ain't a show stopper, but it's a good gun.

Stan, I was there. 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival July 4, 1970, the first big rock concert after Woodstock, and I heard Jimmie Hendrix play "Star Spangled Banner" at midnight, with the grass smoke from 500,000 people so thick you'd get a contact high just coming within 5 miles of the place. You can see me sitting about 50 rows back on the ground with a very hot girl (unfortunately with her brother). I remember Hendrix talking about the girl "with the purple panties" in the front row before he started playing... Alabama had a bad team that year. --(Edit: Listening to the tape...he mentions the "girl with the purple underwear on" about 20 mins into the tape....not bad for a memory!!). -- (Edit2: They did NOT include the Star Spangled Banner - a travesty and a sin that shaill be cast upon their heads and upon their progeny for generations!!!!!!!) https://vimeo.com/155141123We drove over from Tuscaloosa (In a VW Bus - without flowers on the door - I was known as the "fascist hippy" at the time) where I was studying after returning from Vietnam. The Allman Brothers (OMG my all time favorite band even if from Jaw Jah) were a warm-up band that night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VxoXn-0Ezshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRDivUb5EeAabout 98 degrees 80 percent humidity during the day...we got our seats (our staked out ground) while the heat was still up.

My old 12 ga. BSS has never been babied, at least not since I got it about 9-10 years ago. I have shot untold 3" steel duck loads through it, along with many, many 1 oz. and 1 1/8 oz. loads. It has really been shot a lot, and eventually the right barrel came off face by about .002"-.003". I shimmed the hook, which corrected it, and continue to feed it whatever makes itself available. 3 inch chambers, ejectors, 30" barrels, choked .018" and .018", 7 lbs. 11 oz.. It punched me into M class at the 2010 US Open in Tunica. It's a tough ol' nut, with a great single, non-selective trigger (that's the reason it is now choked the same in both barrels). In a local beaver pond. In the "Root-Wad Hole", L' Anguille river bottoms, Caldwell, AR SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I remember when that one went off the hook, and you trying to figure out the best way to effect a repair. Good to see it is still in service.
Best, Ted
