Another newbie...

Hello, all. My name is Dale, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I recently inherited an FN 1900 (the european brother of the Model 8) in .35 Remington that belonged to my uncle, and apparently my grandfather before him. I'm hoping I'll be able to find more information on this rifle through the discussions here.
I know it shoots very well... I fired it a few times back in the mid-80's, and actually outshot some much more modern (and even scoped) rifles at 100 yards with it. It is admittedly not likely to see much use in the near future. The region I live in is restricted to shotguns, blackpowder, or archery only during hunting season due to population density. Pity. I would have really liked to take it out for deer.
