I'll be 72 come March 13. I bought my first double, a Stevens 325, 1n the fall of 1954 @ age 16. Have not been without one since, that's 55+ years ago. Previous to buying that old Stevens I had fired no shotguns except singles. First shotgun I ever shot was a small frame, light weight, H&R single 28ga, which just exceeded 4lbs by a couple of ounces. I would have loved to have accquired that gun but it belonged to an uncle (by marriage) who saved it for his grandson.
