Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

'NOTHER NEW GUN

Went shopping with Inklings this morning to get a few things to eat later in the week. When we finished I went to the sports section to look at GUNS. They had the 0.410 shotgun I have been watching for so I decided to buy it. I spent the money that I got for retirement from an adjoining District and another $67 to get it but I am way happy to have it.

I also bought some shells. They only had 0.410 shells with 00 buckshot where I bought the gun (so I only bought one box). What do you think the chances are of hitting anything with four pellets. They are loaded in-line. I don't think there is much chance of hitting anything, but the buckshot is the same size as the barrel so maybe you could get close. I think they are really for the 0.410 pistol, which I also wish I had.

I stopped at another store where I tried to get them to order this gun for me and they still haven't so I told them I have it. I did buy two boxes of shells from tehm though because they have several choices of shot. 8, 7 1/2, 6 - Not much chance of massive damage with those loads.

I came home and put it together and tried out the action. The gun feeds really well and after I readjusted the barrel after I jammed and ruined a shell it is going to be fun to shoot. Everything is smooth and the feed works well---can't wait for the first hunt.....
