  1. I am helping a friend with a browning shotgun ‘Light Twelve” only takes 2 3/4…..that his dad had and now belongs to him, since his dad passé many years ago. It’s not in great condition but I am going to try my best to clean it up and have him enjoy it.

    I have, the serial # in pic, some of the websites I’ve been looking at say it should have 2 letters before it, and others don’t. I’m confused

    MY QUESTION - is the 1G61312 the correct serial # , and if so how do I know the age of the gun.

    This winter I will be working on a  "whole-house inventory" for fire purposes and as a guide for my wife to price out my items for sale in the case of my passing. I have come to my guns, and am looking for a reliable source for the gun resale values.

    Looking online, I have seen a bunch of sites that say they have gun values. They all are pay sites. I am wondering if any members here have ever used any of them, and do you have any recommendations as to those that are most reliable so that I do not subscribe to them and find out that they don't cover any or most of my guns?

     

  3. Doc, 

    that’s a smart move, but please hang in there with us for many more years ! I assume you don’t have kids who want them or any other family members who would love to have at least one or 2 of your guns for sentimental value.

    hope you have a great season and enjoy your time outdoors

  4. All, I own a marlin .12 gauge model 120 pump action , have had it since I’m 12 or 13 years old, I’m 57. I take very good care of it and have never had a problem. It’s cleaned after each use and kept in my dehumidified safe. I can assure that it is not dirty , gummed up etc. 
    This past weekend I went for a round of sporting clays and a pheasant hunt. It jammed on me 2x while shooting clays ( I cleaned and lubed it post shooting) and 2x yesterday hunting. What I mean is, I shoot the first round and it won’t pump it out and cycle the next shell in. I had to disassemble it on the clays to get the spent one out. I was using 2 3/4 # 6, I thought it was the ammo, but def not, because I tried 3 different kinds.

    I’ll take any advice, suggestions etc, and if anyone knows a gunsmith or someone who may be able to help I’m stressed out over this.

    THANK YOU for any input, and please make me feel stupid if I’m deserving of it, I’m at a loss for what the issue is

  5. I feel fortunate that I met a guy recently who sold me 5 boxes of .35 rem for 150, but as others have said, at the height of this BS, I too paid 70 per box. I just turned 57, I have close to 300 rounds, I think I’ll be in the ground before I get through all of my .35 ammo, if not I guess I’ll still be hunting at 90+ years old :scare:

  6. Has anyone ever bought the beetles and used for your Euro?
     

    Thoughts, hints, pros/cons would be appreciated. I use the skin and boil method, it works well, but just curious about the beetles. I watched a few you tube videos, but wonder if anyone has 1st hand experience

    I notice a lot more bucks getting hit when the rut hits. 

    Side note: check out Bee Spit meadery where the 400 ends and 16 starts in new plaza that has machias surplus and Tim hortons. 

    @turkeyfeathersthere was an interesting article about this in NYON a few years ago, if I’m not mistaken it was written by a fellow hunter who also owns a body shop. I’m going to try and search it up and put in here
