That's a great story and picture, Tom! Thanks for sharing.

I understand your regret over the silvers pad, but that could be reversed and it was an act that gives your gun a story to tell. That character is the reason why I walk past the new guns and gravitate toward the used gun rack. To hunt with a family gun and know that you'll someday pass it to the next generation to add to the story is a special thing.

My Grandfather is the reason I bird hunt. I fondly remember helping him brush out and feed the setters and wipe down the guns before we sat down to a meal too. Important lessons for the young hunter to learn.
