exactly...sell her, buy more guns.
Not frightened of my wife at all, we just had a few significant expenses and some health stuff so my "fun" fund is a bit depleted at the moment. That whole "responsible adult" thing kinda sucks.

At least you didnāt come home with this.
She might have puppies.

So unless I am not remembering my Remington date codes well, this has a "PK" marked on the barrel, which puts it as May of 1923 manufacturing date.
This thing is 100 years old.

do you work for a living? do you make your own money? are you a man? buy the fkin gun dude.
Yup and it'll shoot just fine. The auto 5 design is solid.
You got a great deal for $250
Do you have any other auto 5s or auto 5 clones? If not just wait till you shoot it......they are really good shotguns.
This makes #3 or 4 for me, all Remington Model 11s.
A friend of mine got married a few years ago, and this was his wedding gift from me. A 1930's Model 11 "The sportsman" that I bought as a 5 gallon bucket of parts.
He keeps it on his mantle (in Colorado)

What a great shotgun. I love A5s. Being 100 years old sheās barely broken in. Have fun.
And Iām going to go against the grain. Good on you for thinking twice if thatās what your situation is. Iāve been at the āpaying $1.75 for gas in change to make it till paydayā point in my finances before, so I know what itās like to have to pass a deal up. But sometimes feeding your kids mean not buying a new gun.
You should also know when a deal is too good to pass and let her know just what youāre getting for short money. Sometimes, like this, the deal canāt be beat and will never again be seen.
My wife had a cow when I almost bought a Kreighoff drilling (in 16ga to boot!) as $650 was a significant chunk of change to us 25 years ago. Then we saw the other zero and I passed. She realized Iām not an idiot and that would have been a amazing deal.
