old shotgun
A Gathering of Old Men is a novel by Ernest J. Gaines published in 1983.
Set on a 1970s Louisiana cane farm, the novel addresses racial discrimination and a bond that cannot be usurped.
I bought some old primers from a member here durning Covid and when I started using them they were coming out of the primer pocket when loading. Not sure if anyone can use them. 1400 primers. They are from the early 70’s. Primers still work.
Trying to help an older gentleman out with identifying his old shotgun. I only have these photos to go off of. I thought the gold lettering on the sides was interesting. The wood seems pretty nice for what it is, as well. I have never seen one like this. He claims it to be 60-80 years old. It is...
