Speaking of Stevens. . . . My neighbor came over last Monday, and told me he had a problem with a shotgun. He said that a friend had just recently given it to him, and he thought it was rusted solid. He said he couldn't get the action to cycle, and "thought" there was a round in the chamber. First thing I noticed was how light it was. Easily half the weight of the Remington. Second thing I noticed was that it was not rusted solid. It had a "button", similar to the Remington, and when I depressed it. . . . it allowed the action to cycle. . . . and spit out a live round. So, I cycled it again, and ejected the second (and last) round. He went on to say that he has never had a shotgun.. . . . Stevens single-shot break-open 20-gauge.
It weighs absolutely nothing, and I can easily pick it up with just my pinky finger!
I am usually good for about 4 or 5 rounds with this one, and then I have to put it away with a bruised shoulder............

Yep! We’re weird ! We sleep vertically and without quilt!Canada and no Quilt? Must be cold and uncomfortable sleeping on that board.
Cool to see another Star out there. The first pistol I got for my wife is a Star Firestar Plus 9mm. It's a pretty nice handgun, didn't pay much for it.A couple more from my collection.
I don't have very good pictures of these.
First one is a Star Firestar-45 in nickel-plated (Starvel) finish. 45-ACP.
I need to put a new recoil spring in it, so I haven't had it out in awhile.
Your post verifies that you have to make a comment. My summation is correct for me. If you don't like something then don't read the thread.I'm not sure your summation is correct. I think it is the nature of humans to comment online if they have a view on just about anything. Your own comments are evidence of that. You are commenting on other people's comments and not about guns on a gun only thread. I'm doing the same. Facebook is one big comment session. We should all just "scroll on" but the temptation of getting a response is irresistible.

My Wife has said that of all the handguns she has tried, she likes the Firestar the best.Cool to see another Star out there. The first pistol I got for my wife is a Star Firestar Plus 9mm. It's a pretty nice handgun, didn't pay much for it.
I had the Model 88 and the Model 100 (semi-auto) in .308. Loved those guns. In the 1980's I even bought the Winchester 490 (?) which was a semi-auto 22LR clone of the Model 100. And I sold all thee of those to help fund a motorcycle purchase when I was 19. Still kinda kick myself for that, as I do with most guns that I've sold off..Winchester Model-88 chambered in .308
It's an early series (pre-1964) with the cut-checkering. (later ones had pressed-checkering and softer wood)
It has the vintage Redfield scope that my Dad had on it.

I've been researching getting a suppressor for some of the handguns. What I've learned is I should have been thinking about that 20+ years ago before I bought the guns. Seems threaded barrels are not really available aftermarket unless you bought very specific brands or models. I'd really like to get a couple of suppressors, but gets awful expensive when you're also replacing the guns as well.Inside one of my home built suppressors. This is for my 300 blackout guns, sharing with my AK for a bit till my latest F1 is approved.
A competent gunsmith can usually thread the existing barrel for a reasonable price.....I've been researching getting a suppressor for some of the handguns.
