Welcome to the site. I'm sure you'll like it here (and it seems you already know to not mind Ed laugh ).

Looks like a nice gun which, when fed properly, will continue to give years of service. Any pictures of the whole gun? I suspect the former "kicks like a mule" situation was a product of using 2 3/4 shells - overlength shells often cause that, regardless of how much or how little powder and shot they contain.
