A few years ago I had some serious surgery done, spent a few months at home healing, and discovered that it costs so much to go to work that the 40% LTD insurance check was far more than I normally needed to survive. So I bought stuff - power tools, a compressor, a security door which I framed and hung on my deck in ten minute intervals, punctuated by 1 hour naps. It's amazing what drugs can do...
One thing I bought was a Mossberg 500C shotgun in 20 ga from Big 5 Sporting Goods, as the price was truly excellent - about $200 if I recall correctly, maybe a little less. It came with two barrels and - this is where it gets hazy - I think it came with two choke tubes, along with the tool to change them out. I can't now remember what I did with the extra choke tube, or the tool, and I can't rule out the possibility that neither really existed. Percocet is wonderful for pain, but not really helpful to memory, and I'm doubting that I ever truly saw these items. But I'm also inclined to tear the house and shop apart looking for them, just in case.
In an attempt to save myself many fruitless hours of searching, I'm posting to find out if anyone here took advantage of the same "Big Sale" some 5 years ago, about this time of year (the surgery was Mar 9), and might know whether I imagined the spare choke or not.
