New guy here, and it is very nice to have found this forum and the passion of its members of these great firearms.
I currently have 3 NEF's I have a youth 20 gauge pardner with the modified choked 22" barrel. I just placed a full size buttstock on it today that I purchased off of ebay. I really love this shotgun. It is my go to for my home defense.
I purchased today a 12 gauge pardner at a local gun store for a C note ($100) nice shape, it has a modified choked that appears to be a 26 or 27" barrel. Really undetermined on the outcome of this jewel. It may stay the same and add a Blackhawk shotgun sling and swivels to it and use it as another multi purpose option. Originally I was going to have it cut down to a 21 or 22" and install the great Choate stock and awesome storearm to it and make it a tamer of sort, but recoil and the loss of a choke and possibility of it shooting high kind of discouraged me, but I may find a used barrel and try it out.
The pride is my turkey 10 gauge SB2. It has been fully customized. I had some trigger and hammer polishing performed, lengthened the forcing cone and it was already threaded from the factory, and the gunsmith installed one of his custom chokes to it. I had it painted in spring colors like a dark green and olive like green, and small turkey tracks adorn it in places. This is a 65 yd gun. My friend hunts all over the US and very successful with turkeys and its the twin to his, where it was performed by the same gentlemen.
Thanks again for the info and great topic
