New GOOSE gun!!!
A Marlin Goose Gun to be precise. I have wanted one for some time. I may even take it out and shoot some Canadians this fall. I took a photo of it by the door to give you some sort of idea on how cartoonishly long this thing is. It measures 57" from butt to muzzle....

It is a crappy photo, but you will get over it. Those guns aren't lookers anyway. And since I got it out of layaway today, a new one had to go in to replace it. I have always wanted a 10 gauge and I have always wanted a side by side. This is a Spanish "Mercury G-1032" which means 10ga and 32" barrels. Both barrels are full choke. I am betting that the G may stand for "goose". This one should be another fun one to play with...

Michigan's early goose season starts in September. I am already excited!

I wonder how the Canadians feel about this.?
Hopefully you meant that you are going to take it out and shoot some Canada's..............:devil:
I have always had a hankering to have a Marlin goose gun in the cabinet......no particular reason, but it is something that just appeals to me.
Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.

Think of all the money you'll save on shells.
You should be able to just poke them out of the sky with the muzzle! :tooth:

A Canadian Goose is something you get when you bend over in Montreal...
That being said...I had a 3 1/2"10 gauge Spanish Double (Zabala) like that for many years....hard on the shoulder, but deadly on waterfowl...Nothing a P.A.S.T. pad won't fix...
The Hastings "metro" barrel extension- - - -a 48" long screw-in choke tube!

Jerm if you get that extension you just gotta bring it to next years shoot LOL
Yeah! I've done it with a 12 ga. and it'll make you see Jesus!
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

Post the video.
Dude you know you "NEED" IT!
Probably.
Had on old navy arms magnum 12x12 loaded up hot....and it doubled.....ripped off the ramrod retainer...
:yousuck:
Just put a bayonet on it and you remove the need to ever pull the trigger!
Nah, you own a Savage, HE never would:)
I keep trying to get my cousin to get one of these for the buck in his backyard in the middle of a Minneapolis suburb, he is afraid it will stumble into the neighbors yard.
I have 2. Ithaca Roadblocker- Not bad, very cool. H&R Single Shot sawed off to 18"- Awful. Painful. Uncool.
BTW, one of those Bolt Action Marlin 12Ga shotguns was the first gun I ever fired at the age of 7. I want to get one again. Nice score.

My shoulder started aching when I read that. Single shot, 18" barrel, 10 gauge? Do your ears start bleeding when you shoot it?
