My grannies duck gun

[aunt betty]

Someone started the 20-gauge thread n caught hell for being undergunned. My grandparents, aunts, and uncles all hunted ducks near Watertown, South Dakota in the 40's and 1950's. They pass shot ducks that trade from pond to pond. My grandmother killed many ducks, was an expert shot, and here is her shotgun.
It is a Remington model 1148 .410-gauge. Yeah.

That's a pretty sweet gun. My grandpa knew a guy that shot the live ducks released at field trials long ago. It comes without saying that to keep his job he couldn't miss. He had a chrome plated .410 pump with a full choke that he shot with. Really wish I could have met that guy.

Part of the action is the barrel slides back and forth. The 12-gauge model is scary.
I have a buddy who has one in 12.

That's how Auto 5s work. Long recoil. You really don't even notice the barrel moving when you shoot one, but that's with the Auto 5. Never shot an 1148 but I think its the same principal.

Nice gun Betty

[R. Chapman]

AB- I'll give you $1,000 for that 11/48. Sound like a deal?

I have shot it. Its nice and functions perfectly. I have a case of shells for it.
My dad must have been using it for chuckars and quail at the club.
Maybe not, he had 28 gauge over n unders.
He saved that gun for some reason.

[aunt betty]

Wow. I just checked out Rex Chapman's profile. He is only fifteen.
We were awful hard on him in that thread.
Sorry Rex, I had no idea.

I always thought the 410 was the caliber. 40 cal maybe? I knew someone who shot pistol shells out of his, or at least claimed to.

I've never had much luck with the 410, except for that magpie I cut in half as a kid.

45 long colt

[flight control]

Thats too bad. 450 would have sounded much tougher than 410.

Yep. I believe it was the Civil War when it was invented. Soldiers loaded their rifles with birdshot to kill small game and the .410 was born.

No. 410 is a caliber.

[aunt betty]

Shotguns don't have calibers.
Otherwise you'd be right. It's semantics from old day school of thought er something.
Either way it's how you refer to that gun.

.45 Colt is a rimmed cartridge that shoots a 250 grain lead bullet. Designed for the single action Army revolver (Colt Peacemaker) in the late 19th Century. This round wasn't called (erroneously) "Long Colt" until after the introduction of the .45 acp (automatic colt pistol) which was a shorter rimless cartridge which shot a jacketed 230 grain bullet. This is the round that was popular in the 1911 and 1911A1 pistols and was introduced early in the 20th Century.
