Well, hopefully you are enjoying the subreddit. With your CC charged, it should only be 4-6 weeks till your application is approved (assuming there is not complications).

Ah!! That’s awesome. Yss I am except for all of the feet pics… y’all are freaks 🤪

I have been eyeing the franchi instinct L 20ga for my first purchase. Would also like to get a wooden used 22LR bolty

Buy a 12ga, thank me later for the cheaper, more plentiful ammo.

Also, buy the shotgun that fits

I’m very smol… 5’4” 125lbs. Figured a 20ga would be a better option. Would you still say 12?

My son's 20g has almost as much recoil as my 12g.

More worried about total weight. Would you say there’s a big difference? Recoil doesn’t bother me

Yes, there would be a difference. However it probably isn't as big as you think.
