DHE 16 revisited

[Harold Pickens]

I probably will hunt that gun next year in the UP. I do hunt grouse very hard in rough terrain in SE Ohio and WV. As a competitve marathon runner and diehard tennis player, I cover alot of ground. To date, I have broken the stocks on a FoxC 16 witha SW stock, my VH 16 twice, and found the only strand of barbed wire i have ever seen in a clearcut in the UP and broke my VH 2o. Still, these guns were meant to be hunted and are not collectors items. I am curious to hear what you all think about the discrepancy between the factory letter and what has now been shown to be an original straight grip( except for the checkered side panels.
