Great shotgun-- for reasons I never grasped, WRA never seemed to grab the auto-loading shotgun market, as they did the pump shotgun market- back "in the day".. I liked the receiver shape, and with a ventilated rib on the barrel, the M50 was a smooth pointing and easy to swing on crossing birds--It took me a while to get used to the "squared-back" of the receiver on my A-5 "lightweight 12" --lightweight at 8 lbs. I'm guessing the M50 went at about 7&1/2 lbs.
But- as I prefer the weight-forward, slightly muzzle heavy balance of the M12-- the M50 with the mechanism in the buttstock, didn't quite have that feel- as does the Browning A-5.
A hunting pal had a M50 in 20 gauge, and he shot a fair amount of grouse with it- It was a 28" mod. plain barrel gun, he cut the barrel down to 25" for grouse hunting (this was before choke tubes)-- and swore by it for grouse and quail--
"The field is the touchstone of the man"..

I dont see any cowardice in jOe. Wheres that coming from? I havent seen Keith run to his rescue. Keith voices agreement with jOe occasionally, but I dont see any more than that. Sometimes jOe is wrong, but sometimes hes right. I think that can be said of us all. Sometimes his posts are meant as jokes and are amusing. I just dont see where hes hiding behind anyone. Sorry. And to qualify this, let me assure you, Ive been in his gunsights before too. There is cowardice in all bullies, buzz. Thats their nature. You make yourself look stupid I call it to your attention and I'm a bully...

And to qualify this, let me assure you, Ive been in his gunsights before too. Buzz, I just looked at a you tube video of a guy demonstrating use of a turkey call, and Frank's main contribution was to call him fat. Frank was instrumental in getting another member here fired from his job. His offense? Calling Frank out and noting that should they ever meet, Frank was likely to have the shit kicked out of him. Check out turkey calling forums. Frank doesn't just save his best self for us. He behaves like a dick in whatever sphere he's operating in. Easy to find. You and Keith may think he's just being straight and sometimes his humour is misunderstood. Reality and his lengthy track record says something different. He started a nice thread yesterday. About how we all got started with SxS. So nice to see he's capable of it but the Keith in me sees laying groundwork so he can point to it in the future and say "Hey, I'm not always an azzhole!" I'll try to suppress my natural cynicism and enjoy his thread. It's a great one and just what this forum thrives on.

canvasback, You don't seem to me to be the kind of man who requires validation. I do however believe, as I'm sure most on the board does to, that you've sized up homelessjOe (aka Frank Cox) to the "T". bOb I like how you keep price tags hanging on your guns.
Where did you steal that picture bOb ?
Hey dUmbAss, In your first sentence you point out how I keep price tags on my guns. In your second sentence you accuse me of stealing the pictures. homelessjOe (aka Frank Cox) is an moron. He is unable to follow his own train of thought from one sentence to the next. homelessjOe (aka Frank Cox) is a coward. He hides behind his keyboard knowing full well that if he spoke the filth he spews while standing toe to toe with a man he'd get his monkeybOy neck snapped. homelessjOe (aka Frank Cox) is a liar. He accuses a man of stealing without any knowledge or proof. Bearing false witness I think it's called. How about a wager Frank Cox? Let's bet I can prove the above referenced photo and gun are mine. Loser self banishes from this forum for the remainder of 2019. Oh ya, Frank Cox is a gutless fool who's afraid to put up or shut up.

Exactly how am I full of crap, Frank? Did I say something untrue? That's usually what's meant when one is said to be "full of crap". If so, please show me what's untrue. So far, I've offered my own opinions of your behavior (can't be untrue because they are opinions) and a couple of examples of why I hold those opinions. Am I incorrect? Above all I like to try to deal in facts so if I'm mistaken, please show me where i went wrong. Here's another opinion that puts me back on topic. I think Frank is partially responsible for the decline in SxS because when newbies get on here and ask a perfectly reasonable question, Frank has the habit of trying to make them feel small because of their ignorance on the subject matter. That sure can't help spread the good word.

Give me an example of me making a new guy on here feel small...fact is I've never claimed to know it all like some Canadian pecker-heads have.
I did tell the guy he needed to loose weight but that was out of care for his health.

Just about every time someone gets on here to ask about grampa's gun, you just can't wait to tell him it's a fence post. No explanation, no reasoning....just an opportunity to tell someone who asks for help that they are an idiot. And this whole thing with you being critical of guns put up for sale. That shit's none of your business unless you can prove unequivocally intentional fraud. Or whether they will pay Dave his $10. Or whether they are gun dealers. I mean, what's with that Frank? It's essentially an un-moderated site. Who died and put you in charge? OMG, You called me a Canadian pecker-head! I'm crushed.
