I can help you with that, Beiruty. Using the out of sight, out of mind principle, I'll just transport your collection over to my house. Then, I can invite you over every once in a while to admire them and maybe even go shooting with them. :biggrinjester:

It looks a bit better, A limbsaver is in the mail. A front swivel is to be ordered too. Then there is the sling. :shock: :shock:

I am addicted..... :woohoo :woohoo

That's pretty bad. How long can such an addiction last?

No sling no swivel, it is Tac Shotgun, why do I need a sling :leaving

That disease is incurable, it is terminal.

I am running out of space to hide my gadgets. Soon enough, I will be itching to build a new house with underground 25 yard range and 100-yard tube Plus a Reloading center and Gun Vault. Ah maybe something like this:

I feel you. I just fired my first shotgun today - bought it a couple of weeks ago and got the comment from my brother in law to my wife - "is he building an arsenal?"

And dang, 12ga kicks hard.

The only treatment for this addition is adding more to the collection to satisfy the need.

This is a healthy addiction to have. Expensive, but healthy. I bought my first black shotgun last week. Can't wait to pick it up and pattern all the chokes.

You know it's bad when one of your safes is called the "handgun safe." However, upon reflection, the phrase "one of your safes" is also another clue. So far I can only claim one safe, but the wife did note that it seems to be filling up quicker than she anticipated a couple weeks ago when she got a peek inside.

The +2rd extension was delivered without the longer spring. So, I had to use the stock spring. Is this Ok? Would I have misfeed failures?

I am going the opposite route reducing my collection. I have two handgun safes to empty. I guess the addiction descends with age.
