    Nothing wrong with that. My first shotgun was an old Remmington 870. Wood stock, pump action... Nothing "Tactical" about it. But I do plan on getting a Mossburg 590 with a collapsible stock, pistol grip and vertical foregrip as well as a picatinny rail for sights.

    Welcome to the site! Be careful though. I like old guns but after being here for a few years I built an AR just to see if I could and now it is one of my favorite guns to shoot. Looking forward to seeing you around the conversations.

    My favorite is the Ithica 37 Featherweight.
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    I had a Remington 1187 for a bit. I liked it but got rid of it because I want a pump.

    I have a military Remington model 11 made in WWII, it was my Dad's. He got it when they closed his Army Air Corp base at the end of the war. However I can't remember the last time I actually shot it. Probably sometime in the 1970's.

    i won a usgi rem 11 with crossed cannons and flaming bomb marks at a shoot at nas oceana va. in 1994. it was a 1st place prize. the mwr had them since ww2 in an armory and they wanted to get rid of them, so the skeet range held a match and they gave 2 away for prizes.
