Bill,

Nope, gun came out of Alton, IL actually. A long road trip yesterday to make the deal final but that let me make it a double purpose trip as I'm visiting the folks for a couple days. You were there when I saw it the first time, it was the Southern SxS a couple years ago.

Don,

How dare you suggest I'm from as far north as Alton.

I am from south of I-64, the true Southern Illinois, to me Alton is "up north". *wink*

I got to see the old hotel where Olin gave Mista Nash that presentation Model 21. Russ and I got to look at the gun in Memphis when we were having the Bo-Whoop II vieiwing.



I'll get pics of the gun up as quick as I'm back in Michigan.

That is just really cool. Good for you Destry. Just goes to show that persistence does pay off. Maybe I gave up on Michelle Pfeiffer too soon, ya think? Jack

Default The Ultimate Duck Gun- Boy Howdy!!

It is April 1912- and my first wish would be that Captain Smith had chosen a different course and the RMS Titanic had docked safely in NYC Harbor. My exchange business takes me to the Parker Sales Room in NYC, and in honour of my safe arrival, I order a 12 gauge DHE with, surprise- Titanic Steel barrels-I would "splurge" and get two sets of barrels- one pair 30" Modified and Improved Modified choked with 3" chambers, the second set 32" Improved Modifed and Full, for pass shooting. I would also use the 30" set for pheasants- No 2 size frame, double triggers of course with a slightly larger trigger guard bow for cold weather gloved hand shooting, non-automatic safety, as I would also use this "Old Reliable" for live birds, half pistol grip or Prince of Wales style, solid red Silvers recoil pad, LOP from front trigger 14 and 3/16", 1 & 1/2" DAC, 2 &1/8" DAH, NO cast on or off, and 1 & 1/2" down pitch on the 32" tubes, measured at muzzle with a 90% plumbed door jamb-It sure is fun to dream, isn't it, and the price of admission is quite reasonable.
