Have a 20 gauge single shot was given to me by my father when I was ten. No longer have a use for it, hammer spur is broken but is still operable, will need to be replaced. Only thing I ask is that you introduce another youngster to shooting. Will send to your FFL, and look out squirrels!
Not in, but you can find almost any part at www.gunpartscorp.com. I had to replace a trigger guard for a Stevens single shot and Numrich had the part for less than the shipping!!

All I have is a 12g that would be too much for either of my kids to try for a long time. I’m in.

I'm in , but for my single mom neighbor with a 10 year old son who I'm trying to keep on the straight and narrow. I've taken him shooting, but the only shotties I have for him to try are 12ga.

I really don't understand folks who assume a 12 gage is a shoulder breaker. I have a 12 gage semi that weighs in at ~7.5 lbs. and a 20 gage O/U that weighs in at 6.5 lbs. With target loads there is no difference in recoil that I can see. Where the 12 can get a bit brutal is with the full house Magnums.
That said I have to give a tip of the hat to Shooter57 for putting up a great learner shotgun for some youngster. However his Dad does need to know that once he/she starts busting Clays on a consistent basis things can get rather expensive. One fellow I shoot trap with has a custom Trap gun that cost 20K. BTW, Trap is a perfect venue for a single shot shotgun and it's also the best way to start out for learning how to bust some clays.
I've stopped counting.

Sorry I haven't checked in in a couple of days. I wish I had more of them to pass out, but I'm just gonna put everyone's name in a hat and draw one tonight.
Very generous karma. I'd love to use that with my son.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989
