guns for self defense
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.

cutter, I think my visits are gonna be more seldom too. How is that Silverton coming along. I have a Sea Ray Sorrento 25. I have not had the time to get it ready or I suppose I should say made the time to get it ready to launch. I just got out the Whaler and started the motor for the first time day Tuesday. Fired right up after a year. I will post some picture of her.

Cutter, production began in 1979 on your trade. Trade ins are to say the least usually very dissapointing as the dealer must be able to profit from selling your trade in. It is far more likely that what you get for a trade in will be predicated by how much you are spending more so than the actual value of the gun..... to some extent. You can try going to a local book store and looking up the value but take this with a grain of salt as most usually do not sell at those prices. For a trade in divide it in half  Williams gunsight has a trade in valur book if anyone has one.

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.

Well, I keep a CZ75 or two by the bed and a variety of shotguns postioned around the house..all pumps with 00 buck. A rifle..IMHO..is to kill the stragglers at range, should they survive the close-in turmoil. Afterall..we don't need any survivors in that kind of situation. Keep the AR or AK by the door for the final pickings.
Love,
Mike

I am more inclined to go in for the big "show effect" so here is my bedside protector:
Minuteman II ICBM
Ammo: Nuclear warhead (387 kton) and a spare 55gal drum of yellow-cake for reloading

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
