[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2372547, member: 18710"] I have two. The first gun that Dad bought for my 14th birthday, a single shot Ithaca .22 and my grandpa's Winchester 1887 10 gauge shotgun that he bought during the great depression for $1.50. The box of shells he bought cost $1.25. I have actually shot the shotgun too. I was around sixteen and discovered it in the dairy barn and cleaned it up and oiled it. Dad went to a retired preacher in town that sold reloads and asked if he had any 10 gauge shells. He had some paper hulls that he shortened from 2 7/8" to about 2 3/4" to get a decent crimp. He sold us 24 of them. I shot them all and killed a rabbit and a quail with it. It is retired now. I did get some old 2 7/8" 10 gauge shells from Shamburgs. They are Winchester paper hulls loaded with num four shot. Two bucks apiece for collectors items. I have about a dozen of them. [/QUOTE]
