Went up North to see in-laws this past weekend with the intention of going to SARCO in Penn. and getting A Star in 9mm and/or a Mauser (Swede 96, Yugo 24, 47, 48) to sporterize. All was going well until my son said come look at the sale rack. They had racks of shotguns and rifles of every ilk for very good prices. I looked at several Mausers and even some more modern rifles but John handed me a model 59 Winchester shotgun. It was in good shape and the action was very tight. The Fiberglass barrel was still looking good. I own a Model 59 and it is my favorite bird gun because it weighs only 6.0 lbs. I just couldn't leave that gun there to be bought and abused. Besides, I need a Full Choke when I go shoot skeet
and my old one has a 24" barrel which is great for wobble trap. I didn't get a rifle or a pistol but I got a great addition to my collection and I got to see my son and go to a really great gun store. I'll just have to plan another trip to find a project gun. I hear Anniston, Ala. is nice this time of year and CMP has some nice M1's
I'll post a picture soon.
If you get a chance to go don't miss SARCO's store in Easton, Penn.
Built from 1959 to 1963 they are great shotguns.
