Nice! The Greener Gene wrote about was actually a 16ga, 24" barrels. But his closing is classic Gene: Here's to you, old friend, who made this perfect gun come true. And I promise that as long as woodcock whistle and good dogs sleep at our feet while we sit before the fire and drink whiskey...you'll be remembered.

I just re-read that chapter last night......for the 20th time. What made Hill's gun even more special was the sum total of it's weight, the 24", single trigger, and, most unusual, the top safety.
