Thanks Lookey. Mama likes the old western stuff and I love Texas so we kind of did our yard in that theme
Honestly the guns are of no value, bolted down, welded shut and the barrels actually drilled with holes and no pins
I take them in during the winter months but they are out all year other wise. I will see if I can find one of the greenhouse completed
Bit busy IMO but hey I am not saying a word to mama. ;)

Now there is a post from the heart not the internet and I agree with almost all of it. Not that it matters to anyone :)
I am a self made lefty also for about 30 years now and shoot all right handed guns
I have a complete collection of Ithaca 37's also and my only complaint is most have quite a sharp kick especially the 12ga
You what to get one in 28ga if you want to own the sweetest of the batch
I have always been a pump guy and still have gatherings of remington 31, 870, browning bps & model 12,win model 12 & 42, High standards and AKKARs
Wingmasters & Model 31's would be my favorites
Cheers

A fe years ago, I cam upon a stack of steel (Williams, I think?) lefty safeties for the model 37 and 870. I bought all of them, of course, since they aren't readily available at the stores anymore :) So, I suppose, my 37's and 870's are "sorta" left-handed now. I have the original safeties and can convert them back. I'll be using my last left 37 safety this week when I find time to put it into the new 20 gauge. The last 870 safety is spoken for, I just need to finish rebuilding the gun it's going into ;)

I have a beretta A391 Xtrema 2 that is use solely for long-range shooting of geese. It excels at that, but is basically just a tool to me. It's the only gun I never converted to lefty safety because I could not find a conversion safety :(

I have honestly never converted even one to left hand safety. I could never get familiar with it. I think a lot of that was shooting righthanded for 20 plus years and then making the switch when I just could not get consistent running them in skeet
Mind you took me 4 years of shooting and probally 60,000 plus rounds to get my scores back but once I did it made a big different
Yep I found out from mom I was born a true lefty but back in those years it was seen as a work of the devil so the nuns I had for teachers forced me to use my right hand in the early grades and would strap me if I didnot
Yes sir those were the days . Can one imagine doing that to a student today and yes my parents agree and said was Ok
Cheers
