Manufrance Falcor O/U

I own the above obscure French shotgun, and I need to replace the receiver entirely. (Trigger assembly and other internal components got ruined by water damage after years of wear and tear.). Any suggestions on where to find components for such an obscure gun would be appreciated. Alternatively, the...

Re: Small-gauge shotgun

RWBlue01 -- Thanks. I'd never heard of a reducer before. That might be about perfect for my purposes, and the price certainly suits my budget. Of course, as someone else pointed out, a nice o/u is something we'd have for down the road a bit, but, at least in 28 gauge, that's more than I'm inclined t...

Re: Small-gauge shotgun

Excellent points re ammo costs and growth of the kid. Maybe I'll just wait another year and see if he seems ready for the 20 gauge when he's 11. No particular rush, anyway.

I think a 12- or 20-gauge shouldered would still be a little too much for my kid to comfortably fire. As for under $300, I did find this single-shot: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...

Small-gauge shotgun

I'm looking for a shotgun that my 10-year-old son can comfortably learn on, but one that will retain some practicality later. We have a 20 gauge, and he could certainly fire the 20 without ending up on his can, but I think the noise and kick would still be enough to make it an unpleasant, bad experi...

Spring Turkey in Wardensville WMA or in GW Near Lost River

Anyone have any knowledge re turkey just across the WV border in the Wardensville WMA, or in the GW forest south of Wardensville, near Trout Run or Lost River? I'd like to take my son out and go after a spring turkey, and we have a little property in the area but probably not enough to hunt, and I'v...
