I use either of the O/U I picked up in Turkey both are double triggers with full chokes, in 2003 killed over 160 pheasants with them while I was in England.  As far as waterfowl mossberg 500.


That's a good one.  I have one in 16 gauge that shoots 2 9/16 paper shells, ever heard of that?  I only have 24 shells for it.  I love A5's.

When I was in England I bought my daughter a 410 that was made in 1880 and it will only shoot a 2 inch paper shell. Before I left I picked up about 1000 rounds of it and used my 410 to plink them off at rabbits and pigeons.

I knew that in Europe they had some funny rounds.  Mine is a Belgium Browning.  I wonder if it was meant for the Eruo market?  I found the only box of shells I have in an estate sale.  I saw that it was a box of 16 gauge 2 9/16 with one missing.  I asked where the shotgun was and no one knew.  I bought the box of shells for 2 bucks.   :chuckle:  I told them that they were worth more but they didn't care, just wanted a couple bucks.

I checked into turning it into a 2 3/4" gun, it can be done but I don't know if I want to or not.  I would like to be able to use it more though.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The 410 that I bought for her I have only shot maybe 4 times, and that was after I bought it and gave it a really good cleaning and then just to see how it shot, pretty dang good for being as old as it is. Now it is wrapped in a clean cotton towel and sitting in the gun cabinet.

I thought that some company was making a 2" shell for 12ga's.  Can you amagine how many you could put in an extended tube magazine!

My Charles Daly semi auto gets the most use, but sometimes I use my Stoeger Condor O/U.  Love them both.
