I know, I know. And after I do the stock, I need to do the fore-end. I have a beautiful straight grip stock and matching fore-end that were made to replace the pistol grip and fore-end that's on the gun now.

Angel, be careful the straight stock was on it and a gunsmith changed it to the pistol grip stock they fit perfectly you can chip wood if not careful!

That's why I don't want to try it and I don't want to send the gun out. But I definetly have to get the straight grip on on this gun. Still chicken!!!

Six of one - half-dozen of the other... but I'm partial to a straight grip.

I'm partial to the SG's also but the PG stock wood looks unusually nice for that grade a gun. That gun looks a lot like my 1883 32" 0-grade 12ga that will break clays or kill ducks so far out that it requires over-the-horizon radar capability to acquire some targets....

Richard, that's your twin, only in 16 ga. I did some Sporting Clays yesterday and I did better than usual. I was wondering if it was the 32" bbls.

Angel, It most likely had to do with you looking at the target and not the gun...

Dave, I've been thinking about it and I think the longer bbl sort of make you look out there. Kind of hard to explain but they did make me look at the target more than the 28 inch bbl. Or I guess after 3 years I'm finally getting the hang of it. I also like the fit of the gun.
