I promised myself I would not buy any new guns at the Southern.
I broke that promise twice.
A Pedro Arrizabalaga 20 GA copy of a H&H Best Gun, and a AH Fox AE 16 GA.

Congrats Bob. I picked up an aYa No1 in 20g with 29.5" barrels. It fit a need I didn't need.

Rules are meant to be broken. They are both nice. I favor the Fox

Technically you didn’t break your promise. Those are not “New” guns. You are absolved. Now go and shoot :-)

Were it meant to be hung onto, they'd have made money with handles.

That Pedro Arrizabalaga of yours is wonderfully engraved -- a mighty fine and impressive piece of work!

Bob,
Tell us more about the Fox. And if you haven't already, you can get a factory card on that A grade, free if you are a member on the AHFCA website. Have fun shooting the both in good health.

Yeah that Fox is something else. I didn't see that one.

The Fox is an ordinary 16 AE except for very nice original condition. 28" #4 weight barrels choked M/F. Weighs 5lb. 14 oz.

Bob that gun fits exactly the type of gun that attracts me. "Ordinary" means I'm not afraid to take her hunting. Sub 6lbs. Wow.

Greg,
The engraving is spectacular. That is why I had to buy the gun. My pictures don't show enough of the fine artistic detail. Also, workmanship is top notch.

Nothing ordinary about that AE. Very nice example from Philly.

Greg,
The engraving is spectacular. ***SNIP***
Bob Jurewicz
You can say that again!
The shadowing and the intertwining of the engraver's cuts elicits a sense of depth to this piece. Spectacular is an understatement. One can be rest assured the engraver's graver was not a 16d nail.

That sub 6lb 16 AE is perfect for the grouse woods.

I picked up this very nice Percussion 10g by Joseph Jakob of Philadelphia.
