Stan,
Wish granted. Find a WInchester (Cooey Arms) model 840 single shot, the one with the plastic end on the wood that meets the knuckle of the "Winchester Proof Steel" receiver, and the die cast, pot metal opening lever. Proceed to fire 50-100 rounds of some form of clay bird practice a week.
You won't make it two birthdays before it is shot. Promise.
You don't ask for much.
Best,
Ted
In all fairness, Ted, do you think the 840 was designed to be shot 50-100 rounds a week? Using it for clay bird practice is a bit of a stretch in regard to it's intended purpose, I think. That gun, and many other inexpensive single shots, were marketed with the occasional squirrel, turkey and rabbit hunter in mind, and maybe to be a kid's first gun. I really don't think it was ever intended to last for a lifetime of clays, or hard hunting. It may well be the sorriest break-open shotgun ever designed, I dunno, but comparing it to the guns we use for hard shooting/hunting is straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.
