thanks for the repost -- some of the material is pretty funny:

1. Experts on Guns and Shooting, George Teasdale Teasdale-Buckell, 1900
http://books.google.com/books?id=4xR...8C&pg=PA373&dq
On the subject of steel v. Damascus, Mr Stephen Grant is very clear, and much prefers Damascus for hard working guns. He related an anecdote of one of his patrons, whose keeper stupidly put a 12-bore cartridge into his master’s gun without knowing that he had previously inserted a 20-case, which had stuffed up the barrel. Fortunately, no burst occurred, but a big bulge, which, however, Mr Grant hammered down, and the gun is now as good as ever.

11. http://www.trapshooters.com/threads/....476009/page-5
I stood next to a guy who blew up an off brand gun with reloads There was quite the kaboom. The barrel flew about 20 yards behind him and landed up in a tree. Took us a while to find it because we were searching downrange. Amazingly, no injuries. He had been given reloading equipment by someone moving away. He had a press, some components, some powder in a plain brown bag, no scale so he used a powder bushing his friend recommended.

Ron:
Interesting photo of the array from the lady’s basement.

Makes me feel humble and respectful.

I see about six or seven firearms represented by the various ammo there. Where do you suppose those guns are?

I know where a couple are. The 22 hornet was a pre 64 Model 70 which the owner had re-chambered by Griffin and Howe in the 50's to the 222 Remington. That one is in my gun safe. The 20 gauge is still around -- it's a cased 2 barrel set Parker which the current owner is sitting on (i've never seen it and no nothing else about it). And the 12 gauge was a Fox something or other which was bored full and full. That one is probably long gone. I know nothing of the 32 auto or what the 22 blanks were used in. The 38 special -- no idea. Same goes for the 32 rimfire and the 30-06. If only these inanimate objects could talk ...

That picture Ron Scott posted of the page of “What Ever Happened to the Little Gun” prompted me to take a little ride about 3 miles west of my house in Andover to where the “Harnden farmhouse” once stood on the “Boston to Lowell” road (now route 38) just above the bridge (over the Shawsheen River in Tewksbury. MA). The Harnden farmhouse has long since been razed and the Tewksbury Country Club now stands on the former Harnden property. Route 38 bears no resemblance to the “Boston to Lowell road” these days either. In my picture the Shawsheen River bridge is just beyond the camera’s view around a bit to the right.

Dean — interesting, I didn’t know that’s where Harnden’s farm was. I’ll be in Tewksbury this afternoon visiting my daughters and will check it out. I’ve had lunch at that golf course before but didn’t know what I was looking at... It’s hard to believe that was once good pa’tridge cover.
