[skeet]

Well today was another day..and it happened again. I took a fellow to the gun club to give him a shooting lesson.. He actually did ok once he got the idea of how to hit 'em.. For a guy that never shot before ..well never mind that. I looked at the bulletin board in the club and a guy had a couple of guns for sale..a matched pair of 1100s a 28 ga and a 410 Both skeet guns.. So I called him. Haven't had a set in years and thought I'd like to acquire a set. They are becoming a bit rarer every year. So went and looked. The guns were in the original case(foam replaced)..had the weights for the magazine tubes and were in about 97%. He wanted a bit too much for them but he did accept my reasonable offer....and gave me 15 boxes of 28 and 410 shotgun shells to boot. I think he was about as happy to sell 'em as i was to get them.. Remington made approx 5000 sets in 1969 and 1970. But even though they made a lot of them..many sets were broken up and also a lot had the crap shot out of 'em. Remington at the same time made a matched pair of 28 and 410 in the 870. They only made 1115 sets of them..I also have a set of 'em. The guns are collectibles now days and I'm happy to have 'em. I also found a Firestar 9mm semi auto with 500 rounds of ammo for 400 bucks. Gun has had less than a box shot in it. Don't know about the gun but may have to buy it too. Already sold some of the stuff I got Saturday..but I spent that and more today..Duh!!
