Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

For me, hands down it was a "60's" production Mossberg pump 20-gauge. I was about 12-13 when my dad bought it. I thought that I was on top of the world until I put it to use. Never have had a gun, before or after, that would eject live rounds out of the bottom of the loading gate. Pissed me off every time!! The old man blamed it on me, but I did nothing but try to rack a round from the magazine to the chamber. The gun shot well as a single shot, but never as a repeater. I finally had enough and "lost it." The old man never believed me.

RIP old Mossberg....hope you rust in hell.

My first one: single shot 20 gauge w/hammer safety.

Ironically it was the Winchester model 12 “heavy duck”

For some reason the 3” model 12s jam a lot, especially on high angle shots.

I knew this before buying it but I knew I wouldn’t lose money on the deal so I bought it to get it out of my system.

Best duck gun I’ve Ever bought was a 16ga Rem model 11. Figured I’d hate it but had to have one just to see. Thing is poisonous to quackers.

Browning Gold. It worked well for a few years but then it went to hell fast. Pretty much became a single shot much of the time. It was my first gun, and I didn't really know that much about them so I figured I wasn't doing something right in taking care of it. Brought it to multiple gunsmiths and could never get it working. As far as my screen name. I am just to lazy to think of something new.

Benelli Nova when they fist came out. It would jam a lot with 3.5" shells which I thought I had to shoot all the time in my younger years. It also didn't point where you aimed it. Always shot low which I know is standard for a shotgun but more than the standard 6" or so, this was like 18". Maybe it was poor fit. Traded it for Super X2 green head edition....kinda wish I still had that gun.

Charles Daly semi auto. I shipped the bolt back to them 3 times in a sandwich bag because it disintegrated. Weak metal all over.

One of our former alumni, Bender, had one blow up in his face with a light target load. His face looked like a chocolate chip cookie. He was lucky the metal pieces missed his eyes and throat.

Browning Citori satin hunter 3.5" 12 guage, gun sucked.

A Browning gun suck? That is blasphemy !! Do tell the story behind it.

I’ve had several sucky brownings. Their blueing doesn’t seem very rust resistant compared to a Remington or Beretta.

I bought a Winchester SX2 (which was made by browning and basically the same as a gold hunter) back in the day and the choke tubes wouldn’t thread in, the rib looked like it was soldered on with a bernzomatic, and it didn’t function worth a damn.
