Re: Christmas 2012 Giveaway #5
This was a fun gun to restore
 It is a very good first gun for a young boy or girl to learn to shoot. It is a H&R "Reg"lar" model 365 It is a low ser. #8142 and has the original pep sight and good looking wood. As Sam said I would like it to go to someone with a daughter or son or grand kids that are just starting out shooting. This is a good gun to pass down it will take a beating and keep on shooting. I will take care of the shipping cost but it will need to go to a FFL near you for the transfer. Tried to take some pics. but I am not good with shooting things that don't go boom!!!

Re: Christmas 2012 Giveaway #5
Oh man, that sure is some nice work. I've got 4 grandkids, two have been shooting with me for a few years. I have one grandson just getting to the right age to start teaching him shooting. This would be a great starter gun for him. Sign me up, please.
