[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1674119, member: 3099"] I remember my grandfather saying that he always saved his lunch money and stopped off at a drug store after school where he had talked the owner into selling him two 16ga shotgun shells out of the box. Since he was in there buying them most every day the owner agreed. Almost every day after school he went hunting. Hey, they had to eat. That old single barrel 16 gauge sets in my closet right now with the barrel so thin that my dad was afraid to shoot it. The finish is still pretty good, most bluing and case hardening looks great. He just shot it until the barrel is thin on it. No telling how many rounds it's seen. ETA: My grandfather lived in SW OKC. This would have been somewhere in the late '20s. And most days he took off hunting on his bicycle and hunted in Harrah! :faint: It was the old home place of his grandfather. [/QUOTE]
