Mine is a mid 60s (can't remember off top of head)1100. Shoots straight, feels good.

Always liked the A5s too

Mine is a 1969 1100.
I thought they came out in 67 or something

With out a doubt for me it's my PawPaw's Belgian A5. I use it once a year on a dove hunt, clean it, and return it to the case.

Mine isn't anything fancy, but I have a Mossberg Model 500 20 gauge that my Parrain gave me for Christmas when I was around 11-12. He passed away recently so it's been on my mind. I just pulled it out of the cabinet and wiped it down with oil a few days ago.

I've got a Winchester 16ga, and a Winchester model 61. Both were my grandfather's handed down to my dad, then me.

Dad bought a sears & roebuck 12g pump a long time ago. Has a flash suppressor and adjustable built-in choke. Honestly not sure how accurate it is as I've never actually patterned it, but I shot my first dove with it.

Same as yours, only shoots 2 3/4 and has non ribbed barrel which I love. Will be sending it back to have it reblued and worked eventually.

Sears single shot bolt action 410. I killed my 1st rabbit with it. It was a family shotgun that my dad and lots of cousins used through the years.
Model 700 .243. Killed many deer with it as a kid and still occasionally break it out.

Would be like me having a sentimental screw driver. I just don't get it.

Not a real fancy gun, but my dad gave me a 12 gauge 870 Wingmaster for my 11th birthday in 1983. I don't hunt with it much anymore, but it is still in pristine condition because he made me oil and clean it everytime it was even touched when I was a kid.

I put most of my guns thru hell duck hunting or running dogs, but not this one.

I have an old sportsman 58 that is sweet as hell....I still try to shoot it a time or two every year, but don't put steel shot through it at all..."

Now that both my father and grand father are gone all the guns they gave me over the years have sentimental value.

My first shotgun was a Kingsland 10 Star hammerless side by side in .410. Killed my first duck with it. It was made by Crescent Arms in Connecticut and I think sold for about $15.00 brand new. The sears got so worn that the gun would discharge just by picking it up. Yikes! Needless to say, it is retired to the gun case.
