Wow!
All this talk of 37s, 31s, 12s and 870s!
Loren, I feel soooo guilty ;-) I really can't take the credit (especially when the prices start going to go up on the old clasics.)
It was really cool last week when the shoot off at the local Vintage Skeet shoot was a Model 12 and a Fox. Just seemed right when there were a fair number of Turkish guns and plastic ones as well at shoot.
This morning I just refinished the stock on a 1950, first year, 12g 870. Probably the easiest stock I've ever refinished but with a 26" barrel and at 6.7 lbs it's going to be a great rainy day duck/pheasant gun. I probably didn't need another one of those but...
I just have so much fun shooting the pumps and build qualilty on the old Ithacas, 31s, 12s and 17s make them just a joy to explore. Like a classic sports car with a stick shift I suppose.
It's all fun.
Tim
