Didn't you just have a boating accident and lost a bunch of stuff?

Yes, I have a couple...Most are kept as collectibles because flares are kind of expensive to "play" with.

If you're going to get into collecting, your best bet is the mainland gun shows. The only ones I've see locally are extremely overpriced and in terrible condition.

It can be done (Cyl bore only), but keep in mind that a 12ga flare gun is cheaper than replacing a barrel when the shell melts in your chamber.

No problem. Just remember one thing if you use it in an "emergency": The help you get may not be the help you want.
