gee frank, thanks for the referral... cept, this time of year my hobby gun bidness, which is by appointment only to select preferred customers, which you aint one of, is closed for the winter, as i am now in sunny south alabama, where it is currently 68 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze comin off the bay...
by the way, how cold is it back up there in nh?
Can't speak to NH, but it was -10F up around Sebago by my car's pretty-accurate thermometer when I was getting out to go rabbit hunting about 8 this morning.
As to shops, KTP and Wildwood seem to have the largest number of doubles. If you're going to Wildwood, call first b/c he does do shows. Cabelas will usually have about a dozen doubles in the gun library. Bean's will have about 12-18, with the "good" ones behind glass but accessible by request. IMHO, Beans' selection tends to be overpriced. Other shops tend to have onesies and twosies but road-tripping through Maine bar-hopping gun stores can be fun. Bean's also has some level of shotgun instruction available, but I can't speak to how good it is nor whether it's available this time of year.
One more thing - the new Windham Weaponry store (adjacent to their factory on 302 between Windham and Raymond) carries a pretty good selection of shotgun ammunition including Brenneke slugs in 12 and 16, the 16 coming in both 2 3/4 and 2 1/2 inch lengths. Most all the rest of the stuff is black plastic, but....
