    I've had a fairly short list for some time. Each time I say OK I'm going to bite the bullet & pay what I thought was too much I discover they have gone up again. Top of the list is a Winchester Model 42 skeet gun. At this point I may settle for any Model 42. Problem now is even if I got one I can't afford .410s anymore & I can't get the crimps to hold on the @$*^ plastic shells.

    I always wanted a AR-10 until I got one.It always felt heavy and clumsy compared to an AR-15.I sold it back when the Hillary threat sent prices through the roof.

    I'm lucky enough to own 2 Model 42's. One Field model and a Deluxe straight Grip, Solid Rib, Beaver Tail Fore end, Skeet Model.
    My Dad had both of them. He bought the Skeet model from a co worker in the mid 60's for $40.00!!
    "Ron" asked my Dad if he was interested in buying a 410 Winchester pump shotgun? My Dad replied, sure! How muck? And Ron said $40.00.
    My Dad handed him the cash and they went and put it in my Dads car. My Dad could barely contain himself when he saw it was a "Skeet Model"!
    Later that day another co worker came to my Dad and said, "You know Ron Screwed you on that gun! His Brother in Law only wanted $25.00 for it! My Dad said, if Ron would have asked me what I'd pay for it, I would have said $200.00 or better! So, he didn't really screw me!!
    Needless to say, my Dad and Ron never got along well after that.....Honestly, not before that either![8D]

    Just for the heck of it I looked at the auction side & found one starting at much less than I am willing to pay & it even has a skeet barrel. Of course by the time I paid the Kalifornia shipping fee, the sales tax, the dealers receiving fee & any DPRK fees it would be much more. The one question that came up was WHY would anyone put a compensator on a .410?

    I agree. I'll never understand a Cutts on a Skeet 410 or a recoil pad on a 410!

    The Cutts Compensator allowed (allows) the shooter to choose different choke tubes for different 'events'. A full choke on a 410 plays havoc on rabbits, Duck, and upland field birds, yet a 'skeet' choke wouldn't be much good either.

    I know very well what they're supposed to do.
    I just dont like them.
    Hell, I dont like interchangeable chokes in shotguns!
    Especially double barrels or O/U's. I dont need extra excuses.
    Seriously, I dont like them!

    First gun I ever bought for myself was a Savage 24 in .22mag over a 20 ga. Traded it a few years later for a 1952 Winchester model 94 in .30-.30. (Beautiful wood.)

    Still have the Wichester 94, wish I still had the model 24 .22mag over 20ga. I did treat myself to a very nice Savage model 24V .30-.30 over 20ga. not too long back.

    I always think I don't need no more until Walmart puts crazy clearance prices on more guns. Last week couldn't pass up the walnut Marlin 1895G lever gun in .45-70 for $139.00 and even though I already have a Savage 220 slug gun couldn't pass another one up for $249.00.

    There is 2 more that i came up with a Ruger stainless Mk 3 with a bull barrel vented and im buying a friends Uberti Schofield 5 LC.

    Some more always come along.

    Im almost to the point when 1 gun comes in another will have to go. I have room for 8 more long guns and then i am full.

    However i have a lot of cheaper guns i can let go and replace with quality.

    I'm a big fan of the Combination guns.
    I have a Savage 24 22/410 that is very practical.
    I also have a 22 over 9mm shotgun "Flobert style"
    22/410 Deluxe, 22/410 Standard, and a 30-30/410 Standard Marlin Model 90's.

    I've always liked them myself, since the first one.

    Select-Fire was kind enough to link an auction underway here on GB, when we were discussing the .22mag over 20ga. (It was a Ground Hog killer, that was my favorite hunting back then.)

    The .30-.30 over 20ga. Is a hard to find combo. from what I've seen, the .22mag over 20ga. is as well. I will get one back one day. Always on the lookout for a nice one.

    Sounds like you are partial to the .410. Nice collection.

    I'm partial to all small bore shotguns. 410's and 28 gauge are my favorites. I probably have 15 or more 410's. I bird hunt with a Parker Repro or Browning Superposed 28 gauge......I'm always on the hunt for a nice 410 or 28![;)]

    I have a mod. 42 that had a "Simmons" rib put on it. In my humble estimation a rather inpractical gun but a great part of history. I'd love a 20 ga. Fox but $$$$ just a wish I guess!

    The only one I want now is a Singer 1911A1. Hit my max with around three hours to go on one here earlier this year. Thought my max was $10,000.00 over what it would go for but turned out to be about twice that number short IIRC.

    So true...I have one at present, owned one previously and sold it for the same reason. AR-10s make an AR-15 feel like a nimble sports car.
    WC has come out with a .300 HAM'R to compete with the .300 black out and they advertise near .308 performance in an AR-15 package. When you start looking into it doesn't appear so.
