One Mossy 183D-C .410
Not entirely sure of it's history, but she's very pretty and an excellent bird gun. My father taught my mum to shoot on this thing at the camp. It was her bear gun... not for hunting bears, but to use should she have to get one out of the yard.
She never had to use it, and I'm sure she's relieved with that.
Also got me an archaic Cooey 840 single-shot 12 gauge. Grandfather's meat gun, this thing has survived hell and high water... The barrel mark says it's "full choke" but we actually had to saw 2 inches off the muzzle because some of that hell caught up with it and cracked the barrel about an inch. So she has no bead or choke.
Technically my first shotgun, as it was in my name, though I most often used my dad's Remmy for hunting whenever I could, using this thing with the juiced up steel shot is not a very fun experience... Right after you fire, the barrel automatically pops open and ejects the shell over your head. An interesting if unnerving trick...
Still... my dad uses it whenever he can and one-shots geese and ducks with her... no matter how fast they're flying.
