I'm 55. Bought my 1st double, a 12guage Elsie field model that had seen better days, for 35.00 when I was 14 from a friend's Dad. After 3 years of ammo loaded with a Lee Loader, it would close on a 3 x 5 index card, and the barrels were ofset to the right about 3/64ths of an inch. It had 28" barrels, and chokes so tight it destroyed anything hit in close.
I am lucky I still have my fingers.

I can't be too bad, my dogs will kiss me.
