Wut no 16 ga?!

I have clay guns and hunting guns I don't buy them to sit in the safe to pull out and have a fondlefest couple times a year LOL. The JEG I posted earlier has more than 100K rounds through it. The pair of 16's above have at least 20K each. I shoot a lot.

In March one of the first jobs I gave the GX was to haul half a ton of lead shot home from a club an hour and half away. Love that V8. It loves gas stations though LOL

I have nothing against pumps either grew up with Ithaca 37's. In 16 ga. back in the 60's. Still shoot them 37RVD and Field. In 16ga. of course

For hunting I've been moving more toward SxS guns the last few years. In 16 of course

Well that sucks and hopefully they can work it out. I can't like that.

So......

Tuesday got a call at 8PM phone ID said Mayo Clinic. Thought it was the Help Desk I am the go to for some of the systems. It wasn't it was the Pulmonary Department Chair. He apologized for calling so late but said he was leaving in the morning for Norway for 3 weeks. Told me he would normally wait to tell me in person but didn't have a choice. Looked up his name later and he is the keynote speaker at a World Medical Conference.

Haven't been hitting on all cylinders last few months so made a doc appointment that lead to a few more. The Dept. Chair told me I have lung cancer. With the data they have so far looks to be early stage and treatable. Blood work explains a lot and why I'm so tired. I just cancelled my shooting tomorrow don't have the energy. But going Thursday Friday and Saturday and giving it everything I got.

Monday pulmonary function test and PET scan. Tuesday have a consult to find out my options, surgery, radiation or both. I watched my son and father both go through high dose chemo and really hope that is not on the table.

Hopefully they can figure out a better course of action for you and sooner than later.

Dewayne, heres a little trick I picked up years ago for those 870 rifle sights if you are starting to have a problem settling the front post into the notch. Take a chainsaw file and run it through the rear notch about 4-5 times, it will open it up just enough to let some light in but won’t hurt the accuracy. It was passed on by an old school Remington factory armorer at a 870 armorer's school I attended.

Just another reason I like you... I have the 870 Armorers Handbook in my reloading room. I've tuned and polished the internals on mine and installed a Timney trigger.

On the ships I was always on Ships Self Defense Force. We had an Ithaca 37 in the locker and everyone knew to keep their mitts off it because it was MINE! It had the ordnance bomb stamp on it of course and I called it my bomb 37. For close in fighting on ships with steel compartments it was a no brainer to me. Always wished it had a duckbill on it like Sr. Chief Watson "Patches" 37 had, one of the first Navy SEALs back when the Teams were first formed in Nam.

One day they came on board and took the 37 away and replaced it with a Mossberg 500, gag! And took the M14's and replaced them with plastic M16 and the 45's with those little 9mm pop guns. It was a sad day.
