[member="Rusty"] - I hear your the man to go to for a nasty boomer... I'd like a tough little pump or lever action shotgun. Quick to fire, tube fed or such with a moderate ammo capacity, and able to take custom shells, as I will eventually be making such things for it. Would like a wide spread, so a .12 or .10 ga, pistol grip maybe? A sling to hang it across my back and dangle down at the hip.. I tend to go into places not often in good repute or repair, and the owners or occupants may or may not wish me there, so that would be nice to be prepared for.
Also, if you ever need a second hand around the shop, I have some skills you might find useful and unique to your endeavors...
