Hey All ! I just traded a well used Bass guitar and Amp for this sweet Savage 242 O/U 410 Shotgun ! I am Pleased as Punch and wanted to share it with you guys ! I have shot it and fell in love immediately. I shot at a pepsi 2-liter bottle from 20 yards and that bottle went skyhigh !!!!!
I tried using some of those Silver& Brown Bear 410 slugs and only half of'em would hit the primer hard enough to fire them. Hard primers?
All other shells worked fantastic ! Man what a deal !
What to do with all this old band gear? Giving up music has it's benefits ! Besides, I can still hear a gun go off !!! LOL G
Pics coming soon..
Does anyone elase have a few favorites? Please post pics !
Nice !!! Both of yours ! I am a Winchester Fan. I have a model 1400 16ga That I Love ! That Trenchgun is a thing of beauty ! Do you have a bayonet for it Norm? Man, I bet the enemy crapped when they saw that coming at 'em ! G
Right now I only have the one so it must be my favorite,Had a Ithaca 900 for a couple of days last month but traded it back to owner who was crying he gave it up.
This is Mossberg pump, just like the one I had in squad car,or was it in a stagecoach.This is one of those guns as soon as I saw it and picked it up,had flashback and had to have it.
Hey it is not as neat as the others here but to me it is.
I have two, but one is a old Harrington & Richardson Arms Topper M48 12ga single shot 30" bbl that my Marine Corps uncle first took me hunting with back in the 50's, its at my brother in laws in FL so no pic. My other shotgun is a Remington Wingmaster 870 12 ga pump 18' bbl that I have had for many a year too, it waiting to be use for two legged varmints since I don't hunt any more.

Those of you on Dial-Up , Please forgive me for the long loading time. Sorry , G
nice guns guys! My collection is definitely in the "utility" class-- have one of those old Stevens tube-mag bolt-action .410 repeaters (I couldn't get those metal-cased Russkie shells to fire in it either BTW), and my son has a Stevens break-open 12-gauge single-shot. My double-barrel Stevens 12-gauge with the 18" barrels and the abbreviated rear stock is currently residing with my dad--and his Ted Williams auto-loader from Sears is with me. My faves would be my first shotgun, a "Springfield" (not Springfield Armory, I think it was made by--you guessed it, Stevens) single-shot bolt-action, and my first repeater, a Winchester Ranger pump--but they are both no longer with me
Hey Norm...forget my request. If you ever do sell then go to your friend, I looked at Gunbroker last night and definitely couldn't afford to even think about paying for that beauty!! 8~)
Hey Himmel !
Those Stevens Guns are fine guns .(IMO) They have fed many a Family over the years and I have a Stevens 22 (walmart gun) that is a wonderfully accurate specimen ! So, I like them all just Fine Man ! That Ted Williams !2ga. is a Keeper Too !! I have a few Ted Williams 12ga Shotgun shells that i have been saving because after he died a couple years ago My Friend Said he would like to have one.(he cried the day Ted died. I saw it. he looooves baseball) Anyways if you plan on keeping that TW Shotgun , I could send you one of the Ted Williams shotshells as a match to the gun(memorabilia : Has his autograph printed on it) If You'd like to have one. PM me if you do and I'll send it. G
My most favorite is my 12 gague 870 magnum, parkerised 20" long with a matching rifled barrel. Then there is a Stevens mod. 58 series F clip fed .410 and an older Savage mod 951 410. Thats about it.
