    I Flunked Remington 101

    Saturday was a great day -- I met with my men-of-the-church group at the local sporting clays range. We got about a dozen folks together for the outing giving us all some fun and fellowship. I took my 1100 LT 20 and a "new" old 12 gauge 1100 that I had picked up in a pawn shop for peanuts...

    Dadgummit! I sure don't need it, but....

    Over lunch yesterday I made the mistake of stopping into a pawn shop that happens to be on my "favorites" list. There sat a used and abused Remington Model 1100 12 gauge. It is an older gun with a Modified, fixed choke and vent rib. The stock is pretty scratched up, and there is rust...

    J. C. Higgins/Lake City Accuracy

    Pros and Cons of 308 Garand

    I have been researching barrels for converting one of my Garands to .308. It needs a new barrel anyhow. What is the rationale for making a .308 conversion? Are there downsides beside not being able to use the gun in a John C. Garand match? Clemson

    Shotgunning at the Greenbrier

    I was able to shoot Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays last week at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. It was a great experience. Have any of the rest of you tried the Greenbrier? Clemson

    New Life for an Old Friend

    My first repeating shotgun was a 20 gauge Model 37 Ithaca. This one was made in 1947. The gun barrel had been cut down to make a cylinder bore bird gun out of it. The stock looked like it had gone through the Crimean war in the hold of a ship. I saved my allowance and sent the barrel to...
