its a classic gun but for 1k I wouldnt pay for a fixed choke gun.....well maybe a SxS. as far as skeet and clay get a gun with mobile chokes.

look into lightweight/featherweight models. ithaca makes a feather weight pump but some fancier skeet ranges dont allow pumps.

cool old gun yea not much $$ value. saw the 410 version sell for a $100. your gun is clean and great shape. the poly choke is used to open up the birdshot pattern if you wanted. open the choke to cylinder, improved cylinder for small game like rabbits and quail. tighter choke for buckshot or huntin turkeys. polychokes were very popular when they first came out. not that most shotguns have removable choke tubes the polychoke has gone by the way side. check prices and pics of others on gunbroker. nice piece.

yes you need the saltwater registry. it is free. as for the fishing and kids...yea it gets real tough. i have 2 boys 7 and 4 and they are a handful. before them i fished day and night 50/50 now i fish nighttime pretty much 90% of the time. im heading out this afternoon and will fish til the wee hours. fish are here to be caught.

No, for example .....you dont need an FID to hunt...just have to have a valid NJ hunitng license. as for hutning in nj with a flintlock in must be a single barrel(not a double) and be a certain minimum caliber...i believe the minimum is 44 caliber.

turkey season coming up. i'll travel!

welcome! im over in marlton. Nick

before you try and shoot 3 1/2" ammo does your gun accept 3 1/2" shellls? what kind of gun? i have a mossberg 835 for turkey, it has a 3 1/2" chamber. i spent a good amount of money patterning the weapon with 3 1/2" shells. honestly aside from much more recoil to the shooter...on paper i didnt see a difference to keep shooting them. killed a couple turkeys stone dead out to 45 yards with 3" winchester supreme #5s. as for waterfowl....todays 3" loads can carry 2oz of shot. thats plenty! if you need more than 2oz of shot for ducks and geese than i would say the shooter needs to practice more and hunt less. as for buckshot. you HAVE to pattern it. you find the right load and its awesome out to 50 yards. whichever gun you have see if you can get a patternmaster choke for it. those things make everyone look like a good shot. I have an old stevens side by side 12ga. terrible gun for small game. it LOVES #1 plated/buffered buckshot by winchester. you gotta find what they like.

take a look at some j frames. stick with the 3 or 4" barrels.as for 357 vs non 357. todays ammo is way better than it was 20 years ago. dont rule out a gun b/c it wont shoot some 357 ammo. 38 +p stuff out now has plenty of power. i wont mentions brands b/c what feels good to me may not in your hands. kind of like chevy vs ford or coke vs pepsi. everyone has there likes and dislikes. shopping for new guns is half the fun.

yea very nice wood on that. Nick

Currently own a few. T/C Renegade 50. - percussion, blued/wood. T/C White Mountina Carbine 50 - percussion, blued/wood T/C Omega 50. scoped, camo thumbhole stock, nickel, weatherguard finish

lol. funny azz thread. as for squirrels...have a heart trap works well with peanut butter. i've "heard" that 22 subsonics work well. as for things to make them go away the one thing that worked for me with other critters....skunk to be precise. was mothballs. skunk decided to live under my deck. NOTHING worked. i tried everything. i got a box of mothballs and spent an hour tossing them under the deck thru lattice work. he was gone and never came back. infact most animals avoided the area. my backyard smelled like an old ladies closet but i was okay with it. Nick

im over in the orchards. older townhomes behind the movie theater. I havent been to range 14 in 5 years or so. i liked it its just a hassle to get there at times. currently not a member anywhere. usually just take a long ride to one of the public (free) ranges. only shootin i have done the past couple years is to sight in my shotguns/muzzys. took my older son(he's 7) plinkin with my 10/22, he loved it so im sure i'll be joining somewhere in the near future.
