Extra full choke tube delivers
I bought two SKB Hastings .690 quick change choke tubes for my SKB 685 and could not be happier. These chokes deliver about 45 thousands constriction and have a long parallel section, which in my gun delivers pattern performance like a rifle. I don't count pellets, but my gun delivers extra full choke tube performance with these very economical chokes.
They even have a short, extended knurled ring to make changing tubes easier.
My SKB 685 has lots of extended choke tubes, and a few flush tubes in the case, and these two Hastings .690 chokes are the only two in stainless with short, extended knurled rings, that make identifying the two extra full chokes a sure thing.
Extra full chokes that deliver very tight patterns are just the ticket for doves, squirrels, and of course turkeys, using lead shot, and would be handy for handicap trap and looooong shots at sporting clays.
I'm a very satisfied customer.

Walker's book is a classic
Ralph Walker wrote "the" classic guide to gunsmithing shotguns in 1983, and it's still useful today. Walker was a true gunsmith, who not only knew how to fix shotguns, but could show us how to fix them with his book. I've had this book for years. It's my "go to" book when I have a question about a Remington 870 or 1100, an Auto 5 or Model 11, a Model 12, or just about any "classic" shotgun. The book is especially useful for the interested shotgun owner, and is not just for gunsmiths. Anyone interested in shotguns will enjoy this book. There are plenty of photos, and Walker's style is enjoyable to read. This book is a true classic on the subject of shotgun repair, maintence, and modification.

An amazing camera to learn photography with
Don't buy an Olympus PL-1 unless you want to risk a photography addiction. And if you do buy one, make sure and buy the guide book "E-PL 1 for Dummies" by Julia Adair King on the first day you buy your Pen.
The Olympus Pen PL-1 is probably more responsible for the popularity of Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless cameras than any other model of camera. It looks like an old rangefinder. It's inexpensive. It's light, small, and best of all this camera and it's small lenses can take photos that are comparable with the most expensive, large DSLR cameras on the market. It has fully customizable controls, with a PASM dial on the top of the camera. This means you can use automatic settings, or select the aperture size, or shutter speed, or use full manual controls.
The latest model of this camera is the Olympus PL-8 and the camera body alone costs $550. A good used PL-1 with the issued "kit" lens is about $100, and is a gateway drug to an addiction for the supremely capable, fun, and easy system of Micro Four Thirds cameras.
All the Micro Four Thirds lenses ever made since 2008 by Panasonic or Olympus will fit and work on this camera. The PL-1 has image stabilization built into the camera body, so that by using a ten dollar adapter available for your old 35mm film camera lenses, you can use the excellent old lenses you may have lying around, or can buy at used shops for nearly nothing.
There are more capable cameras on the market than Micro Four Thirds cameras, but they are expensive, and heavy, and make you stand out like a flare carrying around a big DSLR. The image quality of this camera is very close to those, and a MFT camera exceeds the image quality and is so much more capable than your little point and shoot camera or smartphone you have to experience it to believe it.
Treat yourself to an Olympus PL-1 if you want to learn photography.
There's not a better camera to start with, or perhaps, to end up with forever.
