I have a 12 gauge side by side that was my Great-Grandfathers. It's about 100 years old & is missing the firing pins. I never owned a gun before but am getting ready to apply for Firearms purchasing ID. I'd like to go hunting & am interested in eventually getting a handgun. But now that I was downloading forms my old shotgun came to mind.
Another question is; Do you guys know of or recommend a place to get this shotgun possibly repaired in North Jersey?
Have you done any research into the cost and licensing requirements to run a repeater? We own some mountainous acreage in a very rural part of Virginia RIdge and Valley country that serves as vacation place and potential SHTF retreat. We get mediocre cell phone coverage (US Cellular only) and nothing else. I have thought of putting an antenna tower up the hill a ways (we own nearly to the top of the ridge. I wouldn't do it just for Ham or GMRS radio, but if I could get expanded cell coverage, and/or satellite internet (Dish or Starlink) as well, from one tower, I might go for it.
