Super nice gun Craig! Yours?

It appears to have the "trap comb" am I correct?

Steve Barnett recently had (or has) a B engraved by the same hand.

Dean it is my gun. It does not have a trap comb just the shadow in the picture. It is a #3 frame 12ga with .740 bores and .040 chokes. Patterned for #1 shot. Factory 2 7/8" chambers

Gorgeous gun Craig. Not likely to find one nicer.

Going to be a nice day tomorrow for the duck opener. You'll probably wait a couple weeks to see how she works on those web footed foul.

Yes, really nice.

Bill: Thanks very much a positive comments, coming from a old time collector, really is appreciated. I may take the gun out on a nice day duck hunting but I think I will be very happy just shooting clays a few times a year with all you guys.
