I don't have the letter yet. I did remove the garbage pad that was on it and I ground a Silvers pad for it. The straight stock is my friend's and member, Dale Medders. It letters with 32" barrels. They are cut to 26". I fit a splinter and iron to it for better balance. Dale has the beavertail. I also fit an original buttplate to his. It's also a DH 12. Both guns are the same age.

HI Gerald, I just checked my DH 12 tonight. It's choked Full/Full. Both guns date 1902.

Thanks Chris; Mine has a silvers pad with a spur and a curve. Yours appears to have a curve to it also. Does it have the spur? Gerald.

I believe mine is straight. It's been a year or so, but I think I squared up the butt end before I installed the pad. Someone tried to install the last pad, and it looks like they used a pocket knife to shape the pad. The last pad's toe ran parallel with the barrels, a real eye sore! This has no spur, LOP is a bit over 13 3/4".

I would think looking at the size of them it wouldn't take to many to make a good meal. How do you cook them. Thomas

Haha, 5 or 6 over a bed of rice with a vegetable will fill the belly!
