Thanks Doc, that is what I thought. I tried that one on the wife and it is just too awkward for her, hoping to be able to do something since I now have a usable piece. I may see what I can get for it at the club and then use the proceeds.

Govt 1911 45 caliber next to me, 12 gage Hi Standard riot gun with trap loads strategically placed, 12 gage Winchester Defender pump action with pistol grip again, strategically placed. Concealed carry Colt 38 Agent with hollow points. Top notch security system with cellular backup and the bad guy can decide if dog the dog is there or not. No reason to worry about anything but a direct hit and a kill if you are in my house uninvited, don't want to be sued by a wounded criminal, end of story.

Thank you for apologizing to the members here DCSmith. Any time one profiles himself for others to view/interact with, it ought to be honest. Much of the wrong within this country is tied to dishonesty be it criminal activity, dirty politics or just a lack of ethics.

Returned from my road trip last night minus my 1873 32-20 Winchester. Picked up a Winchester Super X Model 1 XTR with skeet barrel. I had to kick in a buck, mine was in rough condition (rusty, broken firing pin, pitted bore) but the guy wanted it for parts. I ran 50 through it tonight, no recoil pad so the shoulder is a bit scuffed but the second round I was at 22.
Does anyone have any history on this particular model? I don't have a clue what it sold for new or the quality of Winchester shotguns at that time. I understand it is no longer made and is probably a 70's era piece. It has synthetic "wood" stock and some engraving that make it look rich and it actually looks new. I really wanted an O/U and I may trade this to a dealer but am totally in the dark as to the value.

Don't let it bother you Chief, some people thrive on being able to tell others what they can think, say and do. I have not had that problem there but that my be due to my seldom visits. I have preferred Dennis' site since I found it and still do.

Chief, the Silverton has seen great progress this summer, it has been my primary project beyond taking care of the place. It will be in the water next year and hopefully I will have time to enjoy it. Just bought new captains chair for bridge, VHF, plotter, compass and assorted devices in the engine compartment that needed updating. Still looking for a suitable tower for the radar that won't break the bank. I have a plan to fabricate so that may be the path I take this winter.
Regards

I have some pics prior to the buffing wheel, taken after the hull was stripped. I will try to post them but they may be too large for the profile album. I will take some smaller images this weekend if I remember and stick them up there. Nice hearing from you!
