I haven't had any difficulty finding the ammo or even guns I need/want... just trouble payin' the price.Same here, John. Can't find a thing even remotely like what I want in a 20, much less find shells for it. My brother in law took pity on me and gave me a single shot 20 that he's had for years and never yet been shot.

Can't say I blame ya for waiting, I'm just not sure cost will be dropping anytime in the near future. Hope I'm wrong!
Thanks, thats a sheath I made about a week ago. As for guns and ammo I think it just may be my State, shops in my area or I'm looking in the wrong places.I haven't had any difficulty finding the ammo or even guns I need/want... just trouble payin' the price.I'm use to shooting a round of skeet for $3 for a box of shells (self-loaded) and $2 for targets. Going to a gun club and shooting as many as ten rounds of skeet per week. Today, that same amount of shooting (if factory loads) would cost around $1000 a month, not including targets and club dues. OK enough of the curmudgeon rant, well maybe one more, "I remember when a chunky was a nickle."
BTW sunknife, great sheath!

Another nice pic John!
Two 3318's. Left one from 2005 the right 1977, sitting atop a gold mine, more proof nothin' stays the same.
