Literally thousands of crows roost along the Merrimack River in Haverhill every evening. Drove through them once again yesterday on our way to Freeport.

[E Robert Fabian]

Thanks Russ, and no I must of caught him at a weak moment.


Dean, any place to hunt those birds in Haverhill?

I don't know if the "discharge of" is allowed in Haverhill. There is enough illegitimate gunfire going on there I should think the constabulary might become distracted by gunfire coming from a new quarter. :shock:

I obtained this top action from the late Eldon Owen a few years before his death. It is packed in a fitted shooting box, that includes loading tools, powder shot and wads. I have carefully disciplined myself against cleaning it up. It appears to be an example of a well used, but well cared for gun of the era. The pictures do not do it justce, as I just made them indoors with flash. The steel butt plate, locks, hammers and floorplate retain some original color. Notice the black powder fouling in all the recesses.

Best, Austin

[Austin W Hogan]

Hee is a look at surviving color on the lock.

Best, Austin

[Dean Romig]

Austin, now that you mention "black powder fouling" I wonder if this fouling might account for what is sometimes believed to be "ink" or "paint" put on the engraving in order to enhance it . . . ?

[E Robert Fabian]

Austin, I really like to see the gun and case with acutriments, I find the old cases and loading tools of the day interesting.
Thanks Bob

[Dave Suponski]

Here's one for ya Bob. Not my gun though...

[E Robert Fabian]

That's some good stuff there, I'll keep my eye open and maybe some day.
Thanks Dave
