Parents and siblings over 14 will use the .22 smoothbore vs. younger grandchildren and great grandchildren with .410.
Winners will have serious bragging rights.
Now that sounds like good fun!

25 years ago or so, Orvis was promoting a thrower which launched Ritz crackers. Pretty neat, except that many crackers were recovered intact with multiple holes in them. Al least they are cheaper than MoSkeetO's

Scott,
Could you post a picture of your "mosquito trap machine"? I have a pair of Barrelette Adapters used to convert a 20 Ga S/S to use 22 shotshell for the game of "Targo".

Default BH Update

Well, my BH is back from the twin talents of Dave Fjelline and Breck Gorman. Took it on a pheasant tower shoot and got the first bird with the first shot. Went downhill after that, but still. Could not be more pleased with the restoration so far. Some new screws are in order at some point in the future. I do wish the records identified the original owner, but all we have is an order placed by S. A. Tucker and shipped to a Los Angeles store.

Nice gun Mills I really like early BH's. I've been looking for an early one in 10ga for years. Two great craftsmen doing the restoration.
Since my first post in September I have acquired a early 85xxx AH 12ga 30" straight grip that's been in a closet for decades condition. Nice as used condition that has never been touched, the way I like to find them.It was sold to duBray in 1897 for a reduced price of $200. Also a show gun Madison Square Gardens 1897. I also own a AH 10ga 1897 show gun, so they are together again.
I have one bid in for a non-sxs at the RI auction Saturday, fingers crossed. I also have an absentee bid in for a Lefever, fingers crossed.

I have long admired the higher grade early hammerless Parkers and now finally have one. As Craig says, a 10 would be great. Jerry Smith had a 10 gauge AH years back that I would love to have.

He had that one a long time... I think a lot of us know why.

I might add, just as I was getting to those tables. Nice gun and oh so very rare in Ejector form. Several of us Fox nuts looked at the gun and blessed it with no reservations. Happy day for the new owner, a good long time friend!
Sorry to be late to the "game", but there were two 20 ga. ejector Fox guns with 32" barrels on Kirby Hoyt's table at the Bray's Island Exposition in April of '2018 or 2019, can't remember exactly which year. One was a graded gun and the other a Sterly. A friend in MS bought the graded one, but sold it last year, AIR. Both were in extremely nice condition. I wanted one very badly, but wasn't willing to pay the prices asked. It turned out okay, though. A year later I was able to buy my Parker DHE 16/20 two barreled set, both with 32" barrels, for considerably less $$$. Dove gun supreme.
