Update on the PH--Last night Bob "the tool man" Fabian measured the barrels of the PH, and they passed with flying colors. We then went to his back yard and took a few shots each. Today I went to the range and burned 125 rounds. I also received my letter on the gun today. It was ordered on February 7th, 1895 and shipped on August 22, 1895 to W.C. Hodgkin's and Company of New York, NY., with F/F chokes which are now IC/LM. Everything else checks out with the letter. PH, 16 Gauge, 28" barrels with a LOP of 14 1/4", DAH of 2 1/2" and a weight of 6 Lb 6 Oz.
