I think I have a picture of it somewhere. It was priced above my budget. I wonder if it ever sold?

The Jerry Smith AHE 10 sold real cheap. I don't know why.

Any idea what kinda numbers there were for the Fox graded guns in 20 gauge 32” ? And 16 gauge 32” ?

I went through the first 3000 20-gauge records and found 48 regular graded 20-gauges with 32-inch barrels. I need to look at those last 500 or so cards someday. While serial numbers go up to 203974, the cards are missing, or the guns never made, from 203241 to 203500. I also went through the 20-gauge Super-Fox guns and 26 of those were 32-inch.

Let's see, for 2021 so far...
20g VH
16g VH
16g Trojan
12g VH
16g H grade Lefever
Ruger #1 .280 Rem w/ Leupold scope

Might have missed one or two.

This doesn't include any handguns or MSRs that I just REALLY enjoy shooting because all are welcome at "The Freedom Bunker".

It was worn to the extreme. That's why it languished for sale for such a long time at his asking price.

Just picked up a DH 12 32” 2 frame straight grip no safety gun on Poulin’s . Left ME went to RVA AND NOW IS IN Charleston SC . Today I bought a DH 10 gauge on a 6 frame that was sold at auction as a 10 gauge and it’s in the book as something else . I hope my suspicions are correct , it has 34” barrels btw ! It also letters as something else as well .

I’ve killed a pretty decent pile of deer with 280’s over the years . The first and my most fav was a Kimber 89BGR Super Grade . Got it at Fairfax R&GC it was AJ Beards and there on consignment . I later had a Ruger #1B that was roll stamped 280 REM / 7mm Express REM . Killed a few deer with it as well , but nothing like the amount of deer I did in with that Kimber .

Good job on that DH! Like you said, worst case scenario it is a 10 or 12 on a 6 frame. Best case scenario . . . .

Late to the game on the long 16-gauge shells subject, but while the "standard" 16-gauge shell was 2 9/16-inch, they were offered in 2 3/4, 2 7/8 and 3-inch. Back in the day there was a series of articles by Gaucho of his trip through the south hunting with a 2 7/8-inch 16-gauge, but I have yet to see a box of 2 7/8-inch 16-gauge shells. This 1927 Peters catalog lists the availability of their High Velocity in 2 7/8-inch lengths --

Here are various boxes of 3-inch 16-gauge shells --
