Francis: This is a proper end to a legendary gun. No better disposition could possibly be made. Both guns, Numbers 1 & 2 will be there for all to enjoy. I believe that Nash would be proud.

Best Regards, George

I need more big guns. Mine are wearing out from excess use.
What do you mean you need MORE big guns? You haven't even shown us the last one you bought!!! (Good bumper sticker: "Smallbore Owners Need Love Too")

I like to shoot them over the water, no thump but a nice big splash.

Being from Southern Illinois, I was pretty much born with a goose call in my hand.

I knew Jim Blakemore slightly, he's been gone a long time unfortunately. His son would still make you up a call last I heard but I've not heard in a long time.
