It's home at last safe and very sound!

Post by fortyshooter » Tue Aug 22, 2023 2:16 pm

Picked up my New England Firearms Pardner 410 this morning and man the thing is a beauty for being 25 years old and looks to be never shot!
Not being made any longer and perfect shape... money well spent. My FFL shop threw in a free rifle bag knowing the stress I went thru to get it here on the 3 wks. it was on the road to go just 30 miles. Glad this ordeal is over!!!!

Now should I shoot it or just hang it and look at it? :D

Very nice. Beautiful furniture and the color case hardened reciever couldn't be cleaner. Score!

Why let someone else shoot it first. Shoot it
Don't let the old man in

Shoot it. You know you want to. Like the man said in Starship Troopers: "Never pass up a good thing." ;) :D

That’s a good looking shotgun. What a pain to get it but it looks to be worth it in the end.

Very nice, Forty. Bet it will be fun.
