Getting old! HA! I probably used to know that!? Thank you, yes, Model 409. From the early to mid 60's as I recall. I think I even have an old Galef price sheet here somewhere.

Years ago, I bought and sold some Beretta SXS shotguns. I always thought of them as Mod.470's, but just noticed mine is simply stamped "Silverhawk" with no additional markings. Found an orig ...

I dropped a couple birds trying to get to the marsh to set up. As I ran, I could see groups of pheasants getting up out of the corner. One group after another. Finally, getting to the marsh/pond/roa ...

A couple SXS, a bag full of shells, whats not to like? Maybe a bikini clad loader on a range in Fla. would improve things, but hey, lets not get ridiculous
