One of my neighbors used to own the gun shop in our small town, but now runs it out of his barn. (Gosh, I love rural America!)
I try not to visit too often 'cause it always costs me money.
He usually has an assortment of old shotguns and rifles, and I sure do enjoy old obsolete shotguns and 22 rifles.
So, I stop in today and a bolt action shotgun catches my eye - a Ranger 105, which is actually an H&R 120, a 16 gauge made in 1941 - 1942. In 1942 H&R stopped civilian production and started making weapons for the military.
It holds 5 rounds in a tube magazine under the barrel and is in the shape you would expect having seen 70 hunting seasons. Price was $99, and I gave him $10 to hold it 'till payday.
We did take it out back and fired two rounds to test function.
I'm excited! I love old shotguns (cheap ones, that is). I'll leave the tactical pump shotguns with all the add on doo-dads for the younger fellows.
Pictures to follow when I figure out how to do it.
H&R Model 120

Well, it took three months of $10 here and $15 there (I'm a po' boy) but I finally picked the old gal up.
This makes my third bolt action shotgun. I already had a Mossberg .410, and a Mossberg 20. "There is nothing so exhilarating as to be shot at without result."
