Don,
I think you just won the Boobie Prize.

Now what are you going to do with Harry?

I do have a Winchester 1300 pump with a short barrel

and pistol grip and there is no doubt in your mind when you've fired
it, especially with 3" shells, but I would never take it to a skeet
range.

The shotgun I have has, engraved in the barrel, "Winchester 1300, 20
ga. 2k & 3'."

What does that mean? I've never fired it. Is it going to dislocate my
shoulder if I do?

Eisboch

The 1300 is a fairly popular pump action shotgun. Unlikely a 20 gauge
is going to bruise you. I'd guess the "3" refers to 3-inch shells. Look
closer at the engravings.

You're right. With the reading glasses on, it says, "2-1/4" and 3".
So, I assume these are the shells it takes. When I bought it, the
salesman sold me a box of 3" "game shot" shells that, according to him,
would not let me miss a defenseless rattler.

So, where do the bullets go in the gun?

Eisboch

I'm not going to tell you. I am going to suggest that you call a local
target range, gun dealer, or hunt club, or look up an NRA instructor, and
make an appointment for a shooting lesson or two, and instructions on
shotgun handling BEFORE you put shells in that shotgun. You also need
hearing protectors and eye protection. Really.

Firearms are dangerous. You need to know how to handle a shotgun and how
not to shoot yourself, a neighbor, or a loved one BEFORE you fire it.

Is Eisboch pulling our leg? Anyone who has watched as much tv as an
average person should be able to disamble, clean and rebuild a 12 ga
shotgun while blindfolded and with one arm tied behind their back.
