Bugs are for swishing!
Beer is for drinking!
Guns are for shooting!
If it can't take ammo then get rid of it.
Good win.

I've got a PA-08 in wood trim- the synthetic version is a little less expensive. I paid $369 for mine. They are a nice pump shotgun for the money.
Mine is the one in the link that Hokie provided. 26" barrel.
Shoot it. That's what its made for.

Mine is new; I don't have enough experience with it, yet. But, I did quite a bit of research, and did not hear those stories. I will report back if I have any problems.

Well, IMHO, if you short-stroke one, then they ought ta take it away and give you a breach-loader (preferably a single-shot)!
I was thinking last night at Lodge that when we have our annual charity sporting clay shoot I just might donate it and maybe make a few bucks for the kids. I started this shoot 4 years ago and while its not a large producing event it none the less brings in about a grand for the charities, and with a NEW shotgun as a prize maybe we can make some more. I dont know what do you guys think?

Skeets - You are a good saint ! Our kids need a few more places to "go" to learn real world activities! Make them understand what giving is all about!
In school we USE TO teach values and real world thinking.......now I cannot get a kid to take his hat off when coming in a building......sometimes I ask them, would your grandmother allow you to eat Sunday lunch with a hat on at the table??? they typically say no......and then I ask them WHY? and there is not an ounce of correlation to why......
I had a thought 30 years ago, after my first year of teaching.......EVERY STUDENT THAT MOVES FROM THEIR JUNIOR TO SENIOR YEAR MUST GO THROUGH A "MILITARY" BOOTCAMP.......JUST 4 WEEKS.....IN THAT FOUR WEEKS THEY COULD LEARN MORE ABOUT RESPECT AND BEING A "GOOD PERSON" THAN MANY WOULD GET IN LIFETIME....
and think about the senior class......they would be awesome!

Now that would be a wonderful thing -- but I expect you couldn't find enough parents in the entire country who would agree to fill one class.
The change must begin in the home.
We have to keep trying in our own small ways to set an example, and try to avoid getting upset with the realization that we're loosing the war.
