Default Restored DH 10

Brad Bachelder did the wood and metal. Craig Smith did the barrels a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any of the before pictures. All the screws in the sides of the action were buggered and replaced, a significant wood repair was done on the left cheek area and a brass pin removed. The case colors match the colors of the inside of the gun that were not totally abliterated by lots of use. It is on a 3 frame 1892 mfg and about 10 lbs with full/full chokes. It has been the go to Honker gun for a few years and will continue to be.

The last picture is of a little pigeon shoot we had with an Ithaca Mag 10 with 34" bbls, Lefever 10 and Parker DH10.

My wife is supposed to get me some RST duck loads for my recently acquired 10 gauges for the upcoming season. Looking forward to it.

Well, I have the GH 20 ga for them little birds. Speaking of which, I put up a woodcock behind the house last weekend when I was pulling sap buckets and also had one fly over the house when I went out at dawn last night. The timberdoodles have arrived in central MI. Turkeys are strutting and the Dark Sweet Cherry, Peach and Plum trees started to bloom today. I am pretty worried that the young fruit will get froze and I won't have any fruit next fall.

Someday I will have a D grade 16 and 20 to add to the D grade collection.

Kurt
