I'm with Destry!!!

As well - fix up a marinade with olive oil, brown suger, lemon juice & whatever spices "float your boat" - and put the bird/marinade into a ziplock bag in the fridge for a day. As well - use a fork to put a lot of little holes in the meat so the marinade can soak in.. Every few hours - shake the bag to re-mix... Grill on low heat and don't overcook.. Turns out moist. I served the pheasant on grilled camp bread with cold rice & beans..

Destry, that's like my oft-used quip "Jack Daniels goes well with anything"

Desrty,

That's an awful long gun. With the barrel being so long it surely won't fit in the sink boat and you will have to find a field with corn about 8 ft tall. If not the geese will see you from a mile away.

Destry, your new gun is a piece of work. For your information, it does not seem to be a Model 1900 H&R. The sculpting of the receiver and the pin placement are nothing like my 10 gauge 3 1/2" Model 1900. My gun is not happy being shot with 3 1/2" shells. I tricked a fellow into firing a few one time and the gun came open on every shot. The gun is about new, so it isn't worn. One of the gun houses sold a bunch of these old H&Rs back in the fifties or sixties advertised as ten gauge magnums. They were probably bought from H&R when they discontinued ten gauges and bored them out for long shells. My gun is nice, but only for 2 7/8" shells. The barrel is extremely thick, but the locking bolt is not up to the job.

Bill,

A friend had a later model of that same gun when we were growing up, used it to pass shooting geese off the railroad track that border the refuge. You could shoot the long shells through it but it was pure punishment. The gun seemed heavy but it wasn't heavy enough. The barrel walls were so thick I think you could have bored it out to 8 gauge.

I saw one of those long barrel things driven in the ground with an insulator attached and was being use as a electric fence post. The action still worked.JVB

C'mon now Destry . . . I don't think so.

Cute gun though. How long is the barrel?

Easy fix: buy two and duct-tape them together.

I'm already looking for another one......
