Default Good For Another Years

On my way to Maine back in May to Turkey hunt with the Tenth Legion and PGCA members Jim Wescott and Niles Oesterle, I made a detour to Ilion, NY. I paid a visit to the Larry Del Grego & Son Gun shop. Earlier I had spoken to Larry about doing some repairs on my VH 16 ga, O frame with 30” barrels. Weighing just 6 lbs, 4 oz it is a pleasure to carry and it fits me perfectly. He replaced the roll pin, repaired the automatic safety, replaced and blued the screws and cleaned and greased the action. He assured me she’s good for another hundred years and promised I would get it back in time for opening day of dove season. While at the shop I was given a tour which included the inner sanctum of the gun vault. What a sight! When I opened the box, he had placed this nice reproduction of a Parker brochure. Nice touch.
